Hearth and mantle on fireplace help please
Comments (4)that seems in the ballpark. the $600 seems a little steep assuming the mantel is just trimmed out lumber, but not outside the normal range. the $200 credit seems about right as well. our mantel material cost nearly $1000 but it was a big beam that they planed and aged for us. the cost of installing it was about a wash with the credit for the wimpy little leuders stone mantel that came standard ($300). the leuders hearth topper was $150 for the stone alone. I don't know the extra cost of stone and building out the hearth support of masonry. but again, i think your costs are reasonable based on my build....See MoreKitchen granite/fireplace surround HELP please!
Comments (7)I can't tell from the pictures how much of the black fireplace front is something that can be covered and how much is opening or vents. The windows are pretty close on either side - how much room do you have for the surround? It seems like one might overlap the windows - if the legs fit, there still is where something like where the Bordeaux flares out wider for the mantle. We did a very simple surround by facing it with remnants from our kitchen quartzite. We felt that the stone at the side had to cover at least 6" to not look too skimpy with the fireplace front. I think we ended up making it around 8"....See MoreFireplace Help Please!!! :)
Comments (3)I think the biggest problem is the shape of the hearth. The angles look awkward and hacked off. I'd replace the brick pattern tile with larger tiles or stone and let the front edge run all the way to the baseboard at the left and right. That would give you a larger hearth and a sleeker look....See Morestuck! floor clashes with fireplace -help please!
Comments (75)Thank you again to everyone who is “brainstorming” with us. To reiterate, We don’t necessarily hate the floors, or the fireplace the challenge here is that they just do not complement one another. Either one in a room without the other could work. Following up on some of the comments painting the grout seems like a reasonable thing to try. I believe it would make the floor more consistent and something that we could then work with (wall colours and accents to tie it in). I’m including 3 optionss for grout paint colors aganst 2 different colors of tile. Area rugs would certainly help break up the flooring and make the space more cosy so following up on some of the suggestions we have a couple of options from crate and barrel in the following images. Lastly we have two paint colours that were suggested Blackfox for potentially painting the fireplace brick and steamed milk as a possibility for wall color. Thoughts?...See MoreBeverlyFLADeziner
