Brick fireplace with the 3 protruding bricks instead of a mantle

Answered
How can we remove the bricks and add a mantle? The bricks are evenly spaced at different heights - low, medium and high. They are not very big and don't hold anything, making it impossible to decorate the fireplace. I plan to paint the brick and fireplace surround.

You can see the highest one in this pic.

Another one of the highest one.

Cut the brick flush, do away with the detail altogether. Or, use decorative garden rope to hang pretty planters at varrying levels. This will as a splash of color, keep the rustic feel and instead of fighting y the fireplace, "embrace" it. "Become One with the fireplace."Helpful Reply -
