My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Uneven stone fireplace ideas

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Large uneven stone fireplace....I want a mantle but don’t know how to do it! The rocks can be up to 2-3 inches different depths. I also have a large tapestry hanging on it now to tone it down a bit.

    I agree that no mantel is best it will be a huge PITA to have scribed and installed . I think a huge piece of art would be awesome I have a huge stone fireplace in my LR it backs onto my kitchen we embraced it and now it is my favorite part of my house.I hate the 2 little shelves and someday when I win the lottery I will have my stainless guy make me a custom stainless shelf that runs the width of the fireplace . But until then I just enjoy it.
