This was our fireplace pre-destruction. We had ugly cinder-brick and a (non-functioning) wood burning stove (as well as ugly paneling that was replaced with drywall)
We removed everything down to the original brick and cement base.
we added some clay bricks to lower the fireplace
Installed some marble.....
Added a mantle, some trim, vent-less gas logs and a glass cover to keep the baby out. The cover isn't my favorite but.....we found a brand new one (still in the box) on Craigslist for $75. Compared to $279 ordered from Lowes. So I think we will keep it :)
We are now warmer and happier with our results!
Now all we lack is a flat screen TV above it! Or at least that is what Josh hopes for. Keep hoping....
