New Tile Fireplace for a 1920's Spanish Revival Bungalow

This Spanish Revival bungalow had a fireplace that was clad with a brick facade.  Although it looked okay, it didn't really fit the style of the home.

So, we were called in to design and construct a more authentic-looking fireplace facade that would better suit the 1920's look and feel.

We removed the brick, applied plaster and texture, and installed the tile.  Each tile was custom-cut from 12" X 12" slate tile pieces and fitted to the design.  The plaster texture was also matched to the texture on the existing walls surrounding the fireplace, to give the illusion the fireplace was original to the house.

See Before and After pictures below.

Good Home Construction's Kitchen Featured in Cottages and Bungalows Magazine's June 2010 Issue


Hot off the presses!  One of the kitchens we finished recently, the one with the fabulous 1930's era Wedgewood stove (see previous post), is featured in this month's issue of Cottages and Bungalows Magazine. 

Thanks to our clients, our team and fellow supporters, and the editor for making this a true success of a project from beginning to end.

One reader had even written to us to say, "Congratulations on the beautiful layout in this month's Cottages and Bungalows Magazine.  The kitchen is perfect for the house.  I wish we had more bungalow owners who would try to restore instead of using granite and stainless steel we see so often." 


Thanks again for all your well-wishes, and if you haven't had a chance to see it, these magazines are available in major home improvement and bookstores.
