I would like the same information. Jillie731 I hope you don't mind me asking another question on this thread as well. We are planning on building a brick house with no stone on the exterior. Will it look too odd to have a stacked stone fireplace with no other stone on the house? I really love the look of stacked stone fireplaces.

You may have better response if you post this in the Remodeling forum. But do include pictures of the fireplace so people can better advise you. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/remodel

Hi! Looking to create a "WOW" fireplace statement in our family room off the kitchen. I am thinking about stacked stone (fireplace) to ceiling with a white mantel...to eventually complement a white/carrera marble kitchen. Kitchen is not white yet (brown cabinets) and may not be remodeled for another 2-3 years. Can you offer some advice on stacked stone color? I was looking at a chardonnay. My home is a contemporary craftsman and would appreciate any advice on stacked stone fireplace. Am looking to create elevated look with fireplace making a statement. Thanks!

I was thinking the stacked stone for our fireplace also but my contractor said they’re on their way out...so we went with a newer MSI stone, more modern looking...
