Holiday Reruns: 4 Fireplaces from MGS by Design

Happy Holidays!  
We hope you are enjoying your holiday season.  We are taking some time off of the blog to recuperate after this fantastically busy season.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are always the busiest time of the year for fabricators, but this year was especially busy!  We are so grateful for the business and we hope it continues strong into the new year. 
We will be posting our favorite projects from 2012 until the new year.  We'll be back with new posts on January 2nd.

We featured a lot of fireplaces that we did this year.  Here are some of our favorites...

We installed this beautiful fireplace this week....

The homeowner had a different granite on it originally, but they were ready for an update.
They didn't want to have to deal with the mess and hassle of demo, so we just put the new marble slab over top of the old granite!

 We mitered all of the edges to create a monolithic look.
The stone is Rain Forest Brown marble.

This is a fireplace that we completed recently.
The homeowner selected some beautiful 2 cm Carrara marble that we had in our yard.  We did a Mitered edge detail on the hearth that overlapped the skirt.
I love how clean it looks, it's a really pretty fireplace.

We just finished a fireplace hearth and surround in Interior Designer Caitlin Creer's own home.
It turned out really beautifully....especially when you see the 'Before' photo!  :)

Caitlin is one of my favorite Interior Designer's to work with and her blog is one of my favorites to read.  She does beautiful work.
She selected Carrara marble from our stock and a 3/4" Square Polished edge detail on the hearth.
The Carrara looks great with her white mantle and blue walls.
