And then I remembered what blog I was reading :) I have a fireplace that has almost the same profile, except that it is concrete or some other man made stone-ish substance. I've always has second thought about it, but after seeing your inspiration images, I feel a lot better about my choice. Unlike you, who seems to be working at the speed of light, I should get my room pulled togther in the next 10 years or so ;-)Kim Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547688659592664714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-45797571370376193732013-09-17T13:27:17.037-04:002013-09-17T13:27:17.037-04:00I love this so much!

It had a hideous 80s PINK tile surround when we moved in, which we ripped out and my husband patched the drywall. It has been sitting with the bare drywall for a year now. I am so ready to make it pretty, but we have been stuck in indecision. I can't wait to show him your fireplace for inspiration.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370198235828703195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-17827736950564423842013-09-17T12:02:19.298-04:002013-09-17T12:02:19.298-04:00It really looks good!
