Hello,
I'm new to the forum and I'm already finding things that I wish I had known about a few months ago. I am about to complete a DIY fireplace remodel in my home and I would like to get some opinions on the job as a whole and I also need some advice on one small section that has got me stumped.
The original was supposed to be an electric only fireplace with with glass tile and a mirrored mantel. It was basically a big brown monolith that did nothing since the electric was never hooked up. There was quite a bit of re-planning as I kept finding things as I tore away the layers. Like the recessed TV mounting. I decided to use that for the new rebuild initially but I realized that was going to make matching up the new stone work VERY difficult. At least for me. My wife and I ultimately decided the TV over the fireplace was just not what we wanted and it's not the best thing for the TV anyway. So we ended up going with judges panel and a new wood mantel with stone fireplace and hearth.
Did I make the right choice? Too late now, but I would like the input.
