If it is rock, stone or brick it can be painted or even white washed (ideas below) if it is tile or some other product you can cover it with recycled wood, ship lap, or fake stone.
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.

What do you have to work with? Would be very helpful if you posted a picture. Thanks!!!
Do you have a picture of your fireplace?
Lots of options, but without a photo we would be shooting in the dark.
Depending on what you want to do, the easiest thing would be to paint/white wash it.

I have seen several tutorials where they painted their fireplaces and they turned out beautiful!
thank you.
Do you need ideas? If so, do you have a pic to share of your fireplace?
