Okay, I think I earned a few bragging rights here - or at least I am sittin' proud! I designed and put up a tiled hearth/mantle around our fireplace. Before, there was nothing but drywall and the surface was really uneven. Due to foundation issues the fireplace unit had shifted itself further back into the wall in parts - about 1.5 inches in some parts. Anyway, I had to even the surface which was the longest and hardest part - took about 4 hours because I had to wait for the stuff to dry - reapply and repeat that until the surface was built up enough that I could put a tile there. We think it looks great! For those of you who live where it is actually cold - this probably looks weird. But, it is very typical for fireplaces around here in the condos to have tile around them. Anyway, I am proud of myself for figuring it all out and getting the job done!
Stay tuned for extended postings about our trip to Big Bend National Park!

You did a great job! I'm impressed. I'm also very sad to see your walls white. Boo! Good luck selling!
Wow, that looks great! I'm impressed. Almost as impressed as I was when you installed your own granite counter tops! Your condo looks amazing on the website you listed in your last post, btw. I hope you get a buyer soon. The pictures really do look great.
