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. That still wasn't as jet black as I wanted so I used a couple coats of a very strong dye. Once the dye dried I sealed it with an acrylic. Since no one will be eating off of it, hopefully, the sealing materials don't have to be food-grade.
Before
After, a little taller and wider and filled in that weird gap near the wall.
One layer of tile will go around the fireplace and then a stainless steel insert and fireglass.
