Fireplace Mantle Makeover
Step 6: Installing Trim
Once the tile is set, grouted and dried you can begin working on the trim of the mantle. Our client did not go overboard on the trim. The sky is the limit and it is all about what the client wants. On our project we used 1″x3″ poplar for the base modeling at the bottom of the columns and used 1/4″ x 1-1/2″ lattice strips to run the edges and add a boxed in look. Along the top underneath the shelf we used a pine shingle style molding as well as the tops of the columns.
