Can you post a pic? Does it have a mantle? Sometimes just updating the mantle and the fireplace surround makes a huge impact. With a rock fireplace I would go with a chunkier barnboard /beam type mantle.If any brass, spray paint black (rated for heat). Hope this gets the ideas churning.

It does have a rustic barn board mantle with side supports, just want a new look. Thinking of painting it some off white or cream color. Thanks for your suggestion!

You thinking about painting the stone. I have been thinking the same with mine. Have seen some pix online that look great. We have huge flat-layed (not stacked) river rock all the way to the ceiling, and it looks so 80's to me. Was gonna take down, sheet rock and put something else below mantel, but that's a lot of work, and I'm loving the painted FP rock I've seen. Good luck!
