Check with your local brick supplier. Most of them sell a thin brick that goes on just like tile (just use a tile mastic adhesive). It doesn't make near the mess as using using full size brick so it works well in existing spaces. A word of caution: The brick tiles do cost significantly more than full size bricks. Here is a pic of a similar product and some pictures from a basement we just completed that used the tile brick as a fireplace surround and an accent wall in the kitchenette.

Yep painting over paneling usually doesnt look great but painted paneling is what wainscotting is so it could work. have you considered tile instead of flagstone for the fireplace? especially if you are going modern - flagstone isnt usually considered modern . as far as the kitchen - you can get an estimate for the cost to remodel the kitchen for your new home at www.remodelormove.com. Good luck!

Hi jaymodh. These panels have different price points, most range between $20-$60 per square foot. Try contacting modulararts via info@modulararts.com | 206 788 4210. I am not sure if they would work with you though(because you are a homeowner, a lot of companies would only work with architects/designers). If that does not work, contact Linda at Studio Glass Works at (608) 836-6500 ( Unites States code is 1). We order those panels through her company. Ask for textured wall panel system. Let me know how it goes :)

HI there, Yes, our site can't upload renderings unless they are jpgs or png, so i have converted them for you..
