Kathleen Ramsey, Allied ASID Ddarby, I am not sure where you are referring to. The crown does extend beyond the mantle at the very top on the sides, it also is raised and comes a bit forward into the room. This adds dimension to the fireplace surround. I hope this answers your question.

ddarby929 Thanks Kathleen. You answered my question perfectly.

tami8884 Hi really like the wall color, i have a dark brown couch and dark floors do u think this color would work?

Kathleen Ramsey, Allied ASID Tami, I think either color that I referenced above would work. Best of luck on your project!

Kathleen Ramsey, Allied ASID Thanks so much for asking. The pillow fabric is a fabric from a custom line of upholstered funiture I carry. It is Norwalk fabric. The fabric has wonderful warm colors, gray, browns, rust and a golden yellow. It would be a great jumping off point for creating a space. I would be happy to order a bit for you. Feel free to email me.

tbevard Thank you so much for your kind offer! I plan to take you up on it, and just sent you an e-mail. I'm so excited to be able to have this fabric in my home! Thanks again :)

Kathleen Ramsey, Allied ASID This color is Sherwin Williams Black Fox. I specified a satin sheen on this. It is also an oil based paint. Thanks for asking!

COASTROAD Hearth & Patio Beautiful project!

As a fireplace nerd, I'd like to mention that latex paints handle the heat around fireplaces better than oil paints do (oils tend to yellow with time), although I doubt the see-through fireplace above produces a significant amount of heat and I suspect the dark color would be unaffected anyway. Just FYI. : )

Kelly Porter Crushed Ice 7647 by Sherwin Williams is similar.

Kathleen Ramsey, Allied ASID I will check when I get back in my studio. Sorry I have taken so long to answer.

Kathleen Ramsey, Allied ASID The tile has raised and lowered pieces. This is an emperador dark marble trim piece that I stacked for the textural effect.
