Who knew? Amazon has 225 Fireplace Mantels and Surrounds.

You can also search for photos of "fireplace" (or other items) by typing into the search box at the top of any houzz/gardenweb webpage.

Or post a photo of your mantle so we can help you?

@Wdccruise, thank you for the sarcasm. I was hoping this platform was more mature than social media.

I ask for creativity and ideas from other if it can be warmed up, textured, or maybe ripping it out is the best path forward.

@HALLETT & Co., I posted a picture of the mantel and surround but I suppose it did not populate. I will replace it. Thank you.

"@Wdccruise, thank you for the sarcasm."

Huh?

Photo still did not post - @Dana Mears.
