You mentioned that stone is 'Vein Cut Minnesota LImestone with a honed finish'. I couldn't find this material in size that big. Can you point me to the place, please? »
Anne DeCocco I think this is a stone veneer. Go to a local stone company and show them this picture. It's beautiful--I've shown this to clients myself. Pay attention to the pinlights in the ceiling. They're helping to creat the glow!
tmnorthcutt I'm looking for something that I can use, post construction, in my stone wall to place votives on occassionally. Something removable. Perhaps a stainless steel plate of some type. ANy suggestions?
The fireplace wall is often a good choice for the accent wall (otherwise, the wall can wind up competing with the fireplace wall). Here stacked stone connects the dining area to the living area in an open floor plan.
Clever lighting adds coziness to this living room. The rock wall is a textural backdrop for candle light and an illuminated floor lamp. The fireplace adds visual and tactile warmth, and accent lights direct your attention to an interesting art piece.
This dual-ledge raised hearth fireplace makes use of it's elevated position to incorporate a smaller opening for the fire pit. It's height prevents such a small fireplace from being lost in this sizeable room.
