Comments (3)I think you should consider stone veneer for fireplace surrounding. Stone veneer looks a lot like the real thing, with styles ranging from stacked stone to river rock. And if its nicer price tag makes it an option that's hard to pass up. I am telling you this because I have the experience of selection of stone during the construction of fireplace surrounding in my sisters house. We also were confused in making choice between stone or tiles but finally we decided with stone and the choice was correct. The stone veneer really looks cool and I think you should read this blog post http://www.northstarstone.biz/blog/12-ways-to-add-beautiful-stone-veneer-to-your-home/ which will help you in this....See MorePainting the Fireplace Surround.

Comments (3)Generally, the tile replacement is done prior to the insert being installed, so that it all fits together properly, and the correct fire codes are followed. You will need to uninstall the insert to do the demo of the tile, and then retile. I would not recommend a formal white marble tile around a rustic insert of that type. The more formal mantel also is not in keeping with the casual spirit of the insert look....See Morenanny2a
