help me give my fireplace a make-over
Comments (3)The granite surround look is very trendy right now. If you don't like shiny, ask your designer about honed granite or unpolished stone. I would match the floor with whatever look you are doing on the surround, either slab or tile. You might like travertine or Jerusalem stone both are light neutrals. They have stove spray paint in black if you want to try that to cover the brass. You can order custom fit screens for a tight fit....See MoreBrick Fireplace Makeover

The house also has a brick entry, so my thought was to use something similar to tie it into a material already used somewhere in the house. But I see how it could look more cohesive with the fireplace to use something like the Terrace Beige....See MoreFireplace makeover/ Hearth
