CK on Feb 12, 2016Hmmmm....the fireplace rock looks quite "in style" right now. I might suggest you find a gray paint that matches most of the stone and paint out the 'grout lines' so they're a little less visible. But that's just a minor suggestion. Actually "as is" the fireplace looks OK. What style is the rest of your room? Do you want it to be a stand out feature or sorta blend into the background? Lots of other questions to ask before more advice ;-) You might try having a sort of 'box' constructed around the hearth so that it doesn't look like a suspended feature. You could have it made with doors that open to allow for storage of items. It and the mantel could be painted or stained the same color.Helpful Reply

LD on Feb 13, 2016The easiest and probably least expensive would be to plaster over the existing stone, which would give it a smooth finish. I would recommend you contact a stone mason and have them give you some suggestions how to give the stone face a safe and modern uplift. The most costly approach would be to remove the existing facade and create the look that you want. As far as the mantle goes, there are fire code requirements as to how far a mantel must be from the fire box, so check your local regulations.Helpful Reply
