Andy, this was a nice transformation. The space went from rather bland to WOW! with the addition of the new mantle and tiling. The new fireplace is certainly the focal point of the room now.

Are the wood tiles solid wood or veneered? In the pictures you posted above it looks to me like they are walnut veneer over an mdf core.
