This fireplace surround was covered with years of white paint. Most surrounds I have restored have been cast iron. I was cleaning this one up getting ready to paint it black, when I noticed what I thought was a bronze hue on the surface. It took forever to get all the paint off, but I am pleasantly surprised by the results.

Window are in and exterior is cased. Insulation and trade rough-in passed. Drywall should be fully hung and bedded in by day's end so interior trim carpentry can commence Tuesday.
