That would be a dream bedroom for me. I love the stone fireplaces. Friends of ours had stone done on theirs recently all the way up to the vaulted ceiling like in the first picture. It really made it the focal point of the room. We have tile on ours, with no current plans to change it, but if we did I think my husband and I are in agreement that it would be stone.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-25087623040178760002014-01-16T15:16:17.328-05:002014-01-16T15:16:17.328-05:00So much beautiful inspiration!

It's difficult to decorate around too. My hubby talks about putting a woodburning stove in its place too. I can't wait to see what you decide on!

I live in a stone cottage, but weirdly enough none of the stone fireplaces were still there when I bought, so I found an old mantel that I use to add some charm.Magali@TheLittleWhiteHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787605249681670341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-614729474837731982014-01-15T21:32:21.815-05:002014-01-15T21:32:21.815-05:00I truly enjoyed all of the beautiful fireplace/man...I truly enjoyed all of the beautiful fireplace/mantel inspiration..you must be so excited and anxious about your remodel…I am with Martina…I think the brick would look beautiful with a whitewash effect…but whatever you decide, I know it will be truly beautiful.Shirley@Housepitality Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945881622303698087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-78054651301872518492014-01-15T19:42:11.258-05:002014-01-15T19:42:11.258-05:00I love all these!

And I would love for it to be stone - for sure! Just because I need it to go all the way up to the ceiling (and ours is 25 feet). However, cost is getting the way of this project, hopefully someday. I love yours and love that your keeping it in your kitchen, it's always nice to have fireplace everywhere in the home, totally agree with you on that. Love the changes so far, excite to see your new floors!Vel Cristehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296838254480885046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-69649107847241951532014-01-15T07:11:35.994-05:002014-01-15T07:11:35.994-05:00We are having similar fireplace thoughts.

Your room is really coming along well......Hi Cindy,<br />Your room is really coming along well..............I have really wanted to paint my fireplace white.........but I really wish I could see how it would look with<br />our dark slotted pine next to it, have seen pics with a dark mantle and white fireplace and that looks good. Problem is once you do it there is no<br />turning back.............ahhhhhhh. Scary! All those fireplaces you showed were very pretty............one thing about stone that you should know or<br />at least it is what the stone mason told me if you are gonna have children around it...........it can cut them if they run into it.........and he told me<br />a story about a lady who had it and what happened, so that changed my mind and we went with brick instead, since Scott was only 3 at the time,<br />but if you are gonna have grandchildren right up the street, you might want to do some research on it............just a thought!!<br /><br />Hope you are having a good week,<br />Blessings,NellieNellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-43807507012492139332014-01-14T17:15:23.624-05:002014-01-14T17:15:23.624-05:00Cindy, you've shown such pretty fireplaces and...Cindy, you've shown such pretty fireplaces and rooms.

We had the old screen you pushed back and forth and just tossed it and bought a pretty freestanding fireplace screen. Again, you'll come up with the perfect solution. Aw, go ahead and do builtins on each side of the fireplace like mine. We'll be twinsies again!<br />Be a sweetie,<br />Shelia ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198642533840030075.post-81264511237981118762014-01-14T12:09:33.576-05:002014-01-14T12:09:33.576-05:00Oh I love a stone fireplace!
