We are doing a whole home reno a d im not sure what tk do with this fireplace. The stone surround is original and has a small crack in the middle. Also, since the stone’s shape isn’t straight at thr top I feel like it’s even more challenging. What can I do to give this thing a good facelift?

it depends on the style you plan for your reno.

I would remove the mirror (bring it back for Christmas, if you like it for holiday decor)

You may be able to remove the brass trim around the surround as shown here I personally do not like the look of a gas fireplace insert, I think it takes away from the beauty of the fireplace. So I like to cover them up with an appropriate fireplace screen. Thrown in some fireplace tools for added authenticity. Provided by: Hansen Wholesale Fireplace Design Service

Looking to do an update on my fireplace. Considering Romario limewash or lime slurry. I love the look of German Shmear but this fireplace has a lot of texture where the bricks are very uneven. Ideas?

This picture of ours may help. Seems you are missing any hearth - possibly add tile around the fireplace and onto the floor on front. Remove the molding surround.

I wouldnt paint it. Its a very nice looking fireplace, and is already pretty neutral. Leave it for now, and live with it for a while. It can always be painted later, if you really dont like it.
