Okay, We're on the cusp of redoing the presentation of our fireplace. Right not it is just a clean slate of brick with plain drywall on either side.
Up until a couple of months ago it had been covered in the '70s style rock face that just wasn't our style. Now I want a real mantel and we need something that will bring it out a few inches. On at least one side of the fireplace I want to build some shelves into the wall but it is possible I will do it on both. So...need some ideas to fester into my skull and some things I can show the wife.
We're going to head to the fireplace shop hopefully next weekend but in the mean time between time - show me what you've got.
Thanks!
