Fireplace
OK, I know this is woodburning and I know that's what we're getting rid of. I do like fireplaces that look like fireplaces (suggestion of hearth and mantle). I do not like fireplaces that look like TVs. I really don't like fireplaces that are slotted into bookcases top to bottom or have TVs over them.
simpler, with stone
L likes how this has some stone, much smaller than current fireplace, still hearth and mantle. Do not want TV over fp! R likes the stone
J likes this one
L likes this, J finds it too complicated.
J likes the simplicity of this, flat surface, stone has texture. Doesn't take up a lot of room.
Just the middle part
J likes flat fireplace in wall without decoration. L likes more traditional heart and mantle. Thought this might be a compromise. Neither of us likes the built-ins on the side.
like the combination of materials
Not with TV.
Just kidding!!!!
Like the simplicity of the fireplace, not the fussiness of the room.
like the clean look, book/art shelves on side
this has a lot of stone like we have now. Still like the look, but much slimmer than current.
would this work in our space? FP is more contemporary than I like, but ok with the shelves on both sides.
possibility for stone behind fireplace
