The fireplace surround is done. It took longer than expected because I couldn't seem to get just the right black color. The concrete itself was black then I acid stained it black again.

Since no one will be eating off of it, hopefully, the sealing materials don't have to be food-grade. Before

 One layer of tile will go around the fireplace and then a stainless steel insert and fireglass.
