Maria Killam I'm sorry I don't have that detail. Maria

Suzanne I just saw this post...and surprise it's my place! Still love it Maria! The fireplace measurements from the wall out are: 14.5" top, 18.5" bottom. Hope that helps

Maria Killam You can buy this chair from the Urban Barn in Vancouver.

Maria Killam It's was from IKEA but they don't see it anymore.

Maria Killam I'm sorry I don't remember the artist anymore, I decorated this apartment around 7 years ago. Maria

Suzanne The artist is Debi Mackinnon. She's a local Vancouver BC artist. Here's her website http://www.debimackinnon.com/

COASTROAD Hearth & Patio Mantels come in all shapes and sizes, but using a little experience, I'd say the gas fireplace in the photo above is about 32" tall, the tiled surround and trim is about 8" high (6" tiles + 2" trim), the orange bit of wall is about 5" high, the mantel shelf header is about 9" high and the shelf itself is about 1 1/2" thick.

So, the total is about 55 1/2" +/-. I would say that 54" is an average height in a room with an 8' or 9' ceiling. That is measuring from the top of the hearth. If you have a raised hearth, all bets are off, because you have to reconcile the relative distance from the top of the hearth with your overall desired height. Be careful about lowered combustible (wood) mantels more than the gas insert instruction manual allows.

I would also strongly recommend sketching up the whole thing to visualize it before starting to swing a hammer. Mistakes made on paper (or the computer) are cheap.

the4guygirl thank you,I settled on 54 and totally clean lines
