Marble fireplace mantel . . .how to repurpose?
We replaced our old marble mantel & now I would like to repurpose it. The piece measures 8" x 1 1/4" x 6'. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I love your concept with the stone to the ceiling. Have you considered redoing the whole thing with whatever type of stone is available on the market now? I suppose this would depend on how it is made and covered. What you have looks like Bedford stone (named for a town in Indiana where it was (is?) commonly quarried. It was very commonly used in the 50s and 60s. The picture of the fireplace makes it look as if it's a very narrow distance into the room. Is there a way to reframe it farther into the room and make it (and the bookcases) deeper? I may be talking way more money and work than you had in mind.
Hi Tina, hope this helps you out. You can do a different faux stone for the piece that goes up the wall that contrasts what is around the fireplace. Ore you can buy wall panels that look like reclaimed wood which will look awesome!
