We chose a linear, rectangular shaped fireplace for our kitchen hearth space. Although on the modern side (not really a style in our home), we liked the look. Also, since a 75" TV will be placed above it (husband's idea), the thought was that a vertically oriented firebox would make for a balanced look. Below is the fireplace wall after the dura rock underlayment was hung.
Here is a profile view of the fireplace wall (far left), projection into room is 18" (still with just dura rock on surface).
Early picture of the cladding installation...
Ceiling and floor trim....
We went with an 11" decorative moulding placed between the fireplace and TV space to help make a break between them.
The cladding finished....
The fireplace face measures 60" x 17." Here are some close ups, including the stone media. I tried to get a picture of the flame when the unit is on, but wasn't very successful. I lightened the image and the flame can kind of be seen.
We are looking forward to getting the area finished and furnished so we can start living in the space.

Love it! Cladding the fireplace in stone makes for a great transition between the modern linear style and your more traditional furnishings. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this looks totally amazing. I love it. The stone is so beautiful. Great idea, this is such a gorgeous room. Thanks fo much for joining Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the lights hanging over the island.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous space. Your home is going to be stunning. Really. I like the fireplace style and I think that doing it in that stone lends a more traditional flavor back into the design. Nicely done. As for the big TV's I guess they are part of the marriage package. :D Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it all finished.
