Make That Red Brick Fireplace Beautiful
Does this look familiar? 
If it does, then you”re like many people who’ve bought an older, charming colonial home in Bergen County. Along with the home you got a red brick fireplace in the living room that you figured you’d fix in the future. This is often seen in towns with large inventories of charming colonial homes like Tenafly or Teaneck or Ridgewood.

This fireplace was an old, stained, red brick unit and then the Lowes team went to work with a combination of tile and slate.
