Fireplace redo-advice needed (and pics inc)
Comments (24)Dear fellow decorators, Thanks so much for all your responses! I knew I could rely on you guys. Thank you very much for the inspiration pictures, "jejvtr." I absolutely love them, and the look depicted in all three of them is pretty much spot on what I was envisioning. However, I am realistic and I know that our end result will probably not match what is in these pictures, because yes, the stretches of brick to the left and right of the main flank of brick are uneven. Also, I could remove the hearth, as you suggest, "egganddart49," but there are electrical outlets on both sides of the hearth, so I am certain removing the hearth would require electrical know-how, and DH and I are not up to snuff with that. I don't mind having the fireplace as the focal point, anyways-it's inevitable, and with a nice large painting above I think it can look nice. "Jakabedy," our house is actually a two story traditional colonial built in 1940. I do appreciate the MCM style, although our family room is not that. It was an addition consisting of a family room built on a concrete slab with a new master on top. I think whoever did it just took various elements popular at that time (floor to ceiling fireplace, large patio windows, wooden paneling, etc.) and mashed it all together.

It might be worth it to have that cabinet built to fit perfectly.I think it is nice in the space to have all the cabinets match. Tell the dogs they have the best seats in the house for T.V....See MoreRedoing Fireplace

Comments (2)You could paint it a very deep navy blue, which will help the TV blend into the wall. Then repeat that color with some new drapes. Be careful with the white you choose for the other walls or you may make your rug look grungy in comparison....See MoreHeidi M
