So I have this posted on my personal FB page but I thought I would share it with you here, too. I have a little dilemma. I am trying to figure out if it looks better to have only dark tiles on my hearth (both the top and the front) or if I should paint the front of the hearth white and leave the top with the dark tile. I have the room a little more "finished" to help figure things out (I laid out a bunch of our absolutely gorgeous flooring and I stuck some baseboards in place BUT the actual baseboards will be taller and more detailed). Which look do you prefer? All dark or white? Please, do tell!
I prefer the dark. I think it looks classy and sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteI think you want the actual fireplace to standout, not the hearth. Therefore, the more it blends in with the floor, the better. If the white board was there, it almost looks as if it is a white box/platform that it's sitting on. No white base for me!
ReplyDeleteThey book look good, but my preference is the white on the front. It ties in nicely with the baseboards that way.
ReplyDeleteI love your fireplace! I personally like the darkwood on both the top and front. Have so enjoyed "watching" you through your blog. Thank you for taking the time and keeping us updated.
ReplyDeleteI love the all dark look. So beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAll dark is gorgeous! I think that the white front makes it look choppy and takes away from those beautiful dark tiles.
ReplyDeleteAll dark!!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog about a month ago while doing a google search for "build my own house", I've loved it! You are quite the inspiration!!

dad says the dark one is far superior to the white. looks great!
ReplyDeleteI am also a blog watcher after googling "build my own house" we plan on starting ours next year and I have loved seeing your progress. I agree the dark is better, but both look good if you decide to go with the white. Thank you or sharing your journey.
