How do I update “half wall” above fireplace
Comments (24)Taking Erinsean's idea about adding drywall to the front of the hearth, here are a couple more ideas. I have kept your existing wall decor, but there are certainly other options there as the wall becomes more of a normal backdrop. Here's how it might look if you drywall over the stones and the face of the hearth and then grey was the hearth and put some slate around the opening with a white mantel surround and our Carolina Window Pane Fireplace Door. To achieve this look you would need to float the fireplace opening out with bricks before installing the slate. Here's the same concept without the slate and mantel just using our Legend Fireplace Door with Custom Tuscan Leaf Surround. You cannot use drywall right up to the fireplace opening because it is combustible, so you would need to float the fireplace opening out with bricks and then plaster over the bricks to finish flush with the drywall. Bit of a challenge, but doable. Hansen Wholesale specializes in Custom Fireplace Doors....See MoreWhat do I do with space above fireplace? And below tv?
Comments (25)Not a Pro. I agree with above about the tv. Above the fireplace I would put a painting over the top of that alcove. From the pictures it looks like there is a ledge, so the art can be place over the top and it will appear that it is on a wall. The other alcove I would add shelves, or a sculpture, lighted up as suggested above. Some inspiration:...See MoreWhat can I do with the blank wall above the garage?
Comments (17)In the long run, I would change up the siding above the garage doors, as Tozmo suggested (I would probably wait until I was painting the exterior to tackle it, though). Add some horizontal trim to divide the two siding zone. Change the direction of the siding, or switch to a wide board-and-batten siding, or do wall shingles. Googling "mixed siding homes" turns up lots of examples. If you are into holiday decorating, you could reserve the space for a giant spider at Halloween, a huge wreath (or pair of wreaths) at Christmastime, and a flag for the 4th of July....See Morehow do I determine the size of art above my fireplace!
Comments (47)I’m also thinking I need something other than a picture either above the buffet or above the fireplace This wall could also hold a mirrori have 2 like this that I could spray paint white and roll on middle space top and bottom Should all frames be the same shape?...See Moremjammjam
