Wyntir told viewers, “This is my fireplace, and I hate it so much. I thought it was stone, and I was honestly just gonna replace it.”
She continued, “Then I found these grooves and this little chip at the side, and I was just like, ooh my God.”
Wyntir was then surprised to find tiles underneath.

The TikTokker then told viewers, “I can’t believe somebody covered it up. I can’t wait to get this off because look how gorgeous this is looking.”
In the video’s caption, Wyntir wote, “Renovation jackpot. I have no idea what date these are from, wether they are original or later reproduction, but nonetheless they are still vintage to some degree! Gonna get it stripped back and then do some research.”
She added, “Just gonna be a little tough getting the backing off as it’s been completely glued and don’t want to damage it.”
