Final Photo of the DIY Beach Glass Fireplace

Here it is with the grout haze all buffed off.

In case you're wondering, the only way to do the buffing was just a few stones at a time. It really didn't take that long though. I worked on it in little sections and maybe I spent about an hour on it.

And also in case you're wondering, I think the whole project cost maybe 50 bucks. And I have lots of grout and thinset leftover. The sponges can be used again, too. 

And here's some outdoor beauty for you from tonight's walk.



And yeah, I'm still collecting beach glass--just in case you're wondering. What am I going to do with all of it? I have plans.

    Wow. On all three photos.
    I bet that everyone who sees your beach-glassed fireplace touch it. I would.

    I touched it! It's as beautiful in real life as it is in pictures! I can't wait to see what's up next, Denise --

    Your project turned out so beautifully. Just lovely.
    your photos are lovely too.
    If you ever need a beach walking buddy, I can do it for hours, and I will be in LA/Hermosa/Manhattan for 3 or 4 days at the end of July. Just saying...

It's a weird way to have a conversation. But go ahead. Then I'll find your blog (if you have one) and comment about something there. We probably won't be talking about the same thing--but I've had conversations like that, haven't you?
