wiskibums did you use bead board in the upper part? I have a floor to ceiling great room and like the idea of the beadb vs all stone. I don't think I want such a dramatic focal point with all stone. Would you paint the beadb a lighter / darker shade of the wall paint? Thanks
surround - Please tell me the width of beam surround and depth/height of mantle.Your's is perfect! We are planning 7.5 and 12" and I'm afraid it is too small. »
Was the Mantel and surround custom made? - I love the mantel and surround and would like to know if it could be purchased online, or through a local dealer. Thank you. »
Lovely. Warm. Comfy and inviting. This is a room that i'd love to have in my house because it's what turns it into a true home. Lived in and beautiful.
Stone surrounding the fireplace opening. I thought i wanted to replace my whole mantle and put floor-to-ceiling stone...but this would almost look just as good and be cheaper! Replace my tile with stone and then above the mantle put quality woodwork/molding to the ceiling. Ya, I really think this is a viable option! :)
