fireplace surround

another stone with integral mantle idea -- no TV about the fireplace!

Q

LOVE the offset feel of this. This could solve my "offset fireplace on the wall" issue by highlighting it rather than disguising it, combined with the wrap-around the corner idea . . .

Q

could the mantle have down lights to highlight the stone?

Q

and now for something completely different . . .

Q

"gray pencil stone mosaic tile" surround" note the framing around the inside of the fireplace opening.

Q

The offset of this (see below) appeals to me somehow

Q

the soft texture is appealing . . .

Q

way too traditional/heavy?

Q

there's something about the wood framing of the stone that I find appealing -- and that might add to the feeling of depth?

Q

noooooo TV over the fireplace . . .

Q

really slick stone with the "whole wall" look . . .

Q

like the blonde-ness of this stone

Q

pretty, but I think the stone is a little too rustic for the small width I'm working with (7" +/-)

Q

waaaaaay too stripped down?

Q

all stone with built-in mantle is nice

Q

I like the combination of smooth and the stone/mantle
