Re: Looking for craftsman tiles for fireplace

Here's the seller's picture of the fireplace. I'm stymied that anyone would have listing pictures taken with all this crap sitting around. But you can get an idea of what I am talking about with the boring brick.

Looking for craftsman tiles for fireplace

We're in process of closing on a 1926 craftsman bungalow, midwest style. There is a fireplace with beautiful builtins in the living room.
