Turn your non-working fireplace into something beautiful

Retiling your firebox is an instant way to enliven and update the look of your fireplace. Rachel Lovell, a dried flower artist in Bristol, England, captured the process on her Instagram. She had a professional remove the gas fireplace and then retil the firebox herself. Through YouTube, she learned how to tile in a herringbone pattern, using paper to mock up her space beforehand to make sure her cuts were exact. The result was a fresh and modern firebox, perfectly suited to her style.
