Brand New Fireplace thanks to MGS

If you follow my blog then you know we've been working on our house little by little.

One of the things that has drove me nuts since we moved in was my fireplace surround.

I love the classic detailing on my mantle, but the cheap terracotta tile just had to go.

The picture above was taken right after we purchased the house before painting. I think the 80's floral couch just makes this look, right? And the faux painting was done to match.

SO I debated about what to replace it with. I went back and forth but I finally decided to stick with Carrara Marble which I have in my kitchen and all my bathrooms.

I get e-mails all the time about who I use as a stone supplier so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share one of my favorite sources with you, MGS by design.

I am so excited to welcome MGS as a new sponsor on my blog.

MGS is who I use exclusively as a stone supplier.

If you live along the Wasatch Front I highly recommend them.

They have an amazing selection of natural and cultured stones, they hone everything in their shop, and they can template with existing counters on if you are just doing some updating.

They even have an awesome blog all about their projects and different types of stone called the Granite Gurus .

Their blog is a great source of information about various types of stone, and trends in stone work.

MGS also did all of the stone work in the Spring Lane house I worked on last year, and if

you're interested in seeing some of their recent projects you can view their gallery here.

Make sure to think of MGS By Design if you are considering replacing

some of your counter tops, doing some outdoor stone work, or updating your fireplace.

I love working with them and their prices are the best I've found.

If you're interested in getting a free estimate on a project, you can contact stephanie@mgsbydesign. Tell her I sent you and I promise she'll take good care of you!

I love that they've taken my yucky terracotta tile, and turned it in to this:
