New fireplace in time for Christmas- Before and After
8 years ago
The old brick fireplace hadn't been used in 20 years and was drafty. I did not like the arches and wanted gas. I wanted to keep some of the brick but after pricing out several design options, I decided to hide and cover. It was the cheapest solution as everything is still intact behind the new facade. It cement board on the lower portion and mdf up top with trim. The hearth, we had covered with large format stone tile.
