i was thinking about this fireplace before falling asleep. i already made a comment saying don't touch the fireplace, but i thought a good solution to updating the area would be to paint the wall (...

i second the above comment; keep it as it is. i wouldn't event change the tile. work with it, because it is awesome.

austinists are out here. here's one!

best remodel i've seen on this site. the new layout is amazing. excellent job!
