Exposed Brick Fireplace - Now What?

13 years ago
Hi!

My wife and I moved into our first home last week, its a 1920s house and we decided to go through the plaster to expose the brick and fireplace beneath. We're unsure of what to do next, do we install a gas fireplace, a wood burning stove or leave it empty? Any tips on how to remove the additional mortar that's coating the bricks and should we finish the bricks with a sealant or something to protect them and put some life back into them? If anyone has had a similar renovation and could make a suggestion that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Will
