Ideas on how to update fireplace?
Comments (6)The limestone doesnt really go with the brick at all. If you want to keep the brick, I would change all the limestone to bluestone. Thats typically what is used to mantels and ledges. I just re did my fireplace that was brick and bluestone and did it in cultured stone. I would probably do some sort of wood mantel since you have a rustic look going on with the deer mount.This is before, with bluestone ledges, mantel and hearth.After, we removed the ledges, and changed the mantel to wood and the hearth to limestone....See MoreFireplace update ideas

The ceiling in this room is very short starting at 8ft the highest and ending a little over 6ft. The room is rectangular that helps to get a better idea of the layout. The pic is from when we just moved in, we just didnt have the extra money to work on it then. So I cant really take a recent pic, especially if the whole room....See MoreIdeas to update this fireplace
