corner stone fireplace
Comments (4)Hi chris12, DH and I built a corner fireplace in our current home. It's located in the great room, which was an addition we put on the house about 4 years ago. I went through all our pics this morning and every single one either has my parrot in it or someone standing in front of the fireplace. I will try to get a new pic for you a little later today and will post it. The ceiling in that room is sort of vaulted, but is not super tall. We stoned the fireplace using stone dug from our own yard and it goes all the way to the ceiling. I love it and will be very sad to leave it behind when we sell this house. It is unique to our taste and I can only hope the new owners enjoy it as much as we have. I'll be back a bit later..........See MoreCorner fireplace or not ?
Comments (41)We have a basement family room we finished and decided on a corner fireplace. Ceilings were too low to put a TV on top of the fireplace and I really wanted a true mantel without a TV on top. Also due to the basement being finished after the build of the house, it was easier to put the fireplace here for venting. I'm very pleased with the outcome and think the furniture works well in the space. The room is only about 17' wide. We're in the process of a new build and I wanted to do a similar configuration in the basement. However our new family room will be about 26' wide and I think it's just too wide to make a corner fireplace work. Not sure yet....See MoreFireplace Mantel Height for 10' Ceiling
