Michelle Fries, BeDe Design, LLC @jennynichols- thanks for the question. In fact, the photo you see is a real fieldstone veneer. We enhanced it with a sealer to bring out more color. I have rocked over drywall with veneer And don't think you'd have a problem with it, but would be a good idea to ask an installer or someone at a local supplier.
Michelle Fries, BeDe Design, LLC @tinymd-it depends a lot on what you are starting with (new build, makeover to existing already, framed box and hearth). Let me know and I'll try to give you a ballpark. Send a pic if you have one.
Larger river rocks are the perfect way to create a fireplace that makes a statement. Ideal for the mountains, the lake, the river or anywhere the outdoors is the main event, river rock helps blend the indoors and outdoors. Want a touch of river rock style without the home makeover? Collect rocks from streambeds or along the shoreline, fill a beautiful glass bowl and enjoy.
6. Skis and snowshoes. Vintage snowshoes or skis make a wonderfully rustic seasonal display on the front porch or mantel, especially alongside stacks of firewood and fresh greenery. True antiques will be quite costly, but vintage finds from the 1950s on are usually reasonably priced and just as charming.
It can even be used outdoors!!
