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.

Brick Fireplace Expertise needed

12 years ago
Hi all! I have a brick fireplace I would like to look more modern. Our style is clean lines & contemporary. Any ideas on how to upgrade this? White paint - is that too country? Dark grey paint - will it make the room too dark? Stone - how does one do this in an affordable way?
Thanks for you help!
