Ideas for the fireplace front and mantel
Long ago, before we had even owned this house, I had found this picture somewhere and pasted it into my old idea book. This little corner in the room just appealed to me. So cozy. A few nights ago, I found the picture again. Since we are at the point where we are brainstorming ideas for rebuilding the fireplace, I scanned it and I'm adding it to the Idea Guide on the blog.
There are a number of photos of fireplaces that I've collected over the past few years. So I'm going to include them in this post for future reference.

I like the tile. It will be easier and cheaper than recreating the brick face and I like the look more. Not that we've ever built anything like this before, so that will be a challenge.

Will you be able to get the fireplace working? (At a reasonable cost, I realize that almost anything is possible with enough $)

I have a feeling that your orginal one was like the first picture, good luck with the fireplace. I know it will turn out ok.

You've got some beautiful ideas there. I like the first and last ones the best. Either of those could be gorgeous in your room.
