my mom passed away 4 yrs. ago, my nephew saw something in a window staring him down, my sister had ghost busters over and said there is an evil energy there and a couple of children, and some rude teenagers. which explains the growling noise i once heard in my bedroom, and things flying off the walls, and children talking and crying. i have always felt scared in the house. my sister owns it and is working on getting rid of all that energy or she will not be able to sell it. ugh!!! i have nothing to do with it.

tear out the hearth, you can always find a few pieces of flooring to match. then you can cover top half mdf and the other half with either marble or slate, or just paint it, that will surely give it a modern twist to it. that is what i did to my ugly fireplace. just use liquid nails for the mdf.

just make sure you take a little grout scraper and scrape off enough grout and regrout, if grey is the color of the grout and not because it is dirty then just clorox the heck out of it and paint the walls a light grey and add brown or even black accents, it will look really nice. the mold you do have to get rid of. wish i would be moving too. good luck , and enjoy!!

it all depends on the wood, if it is good wood i would paint it black then go over with a stain you will not believe the finish, beautifull, change the pulls to modern silver and if you want you can cover the bottom with a solid piece of wood instead of legs. but it all depends if the wood is worth your expense.

reupholster it, just follow the existing one. peel one layer at a time, take pictures for reference. it is really easy. then refinish it with stain. love it!!! great find.

i understand your concern. we too had a red brick fireplace, so i took out the hearth, covered half of it with mdf and painted it all the same wall color and it looks beautifull. hope this gives you an idea. bone is the color used.

if i buy a piece of furniture at ikea i first think how often i will have to move it. truth is you really can't be moving furniture from there much. i also shop thrift shops and i will be selling some furniture i find there and i restore. in other words to decorate a wall, ikea, for a good piece of furniture, thrift shops.
