Fireplace ugh!

This house was built in 1990. This is a brick facade. I like the idea of exposed brick however this is hideous. There is about 1/2 inch depth to original mortar. I thought about a light mortar wash and bringing mortar flush to brick face. Don't really want to tear down the two stacks on the side but have never seen anything like it. The oval thing is going, just too heavy to remove for the photo.

    If you don't like it, attach wall board to the space in between to be flush with the columns, then stucco and paint over the whole thing.

      Photo looks extremely dark and weird. The wall color is actually light gray, BM Light Pewter. Ceiling is BM Decorators White.

      PS, Pellet stove hiding behind a black fireplace screen.

      That is quite a statement piece! You're right, I don't think I've seen anything quite like it either. Depending on the look you're after for the overall room, might I suggest filling between the two stacks with wood? Maybe a reclaimed horizontal stack? Or white siding? Or vertical white raised paneling with a white mantel? Adding wood paneling will tie the two stacks together creating a more unified mantel. Could be a fun project!

      Like flush with the two stacks? The depth is about 8 inches.

      I find that really unique. A bit challenging maybe, but believe me there are worse looking FPs out there.

      I agree with Susan. I kind of like it. Did you just move in? If so, give it time before making significant changes. In the meantime, I would focus on window treatments.

      have you thought about painting it? I have a very dated fireplace to and I used a stain on it and it looks much better

      You could hang floor too ceiling curtains. I don't like it as much, but you and others might.

      LOL. No I've been in this house way to long. We have been remodeling in steps, with kids as distractions:) Yes on the window coverings, maybe not floor to ceiling for this space. The left is a sliding door so that makes that a little more complicated.

      Furniture will happen as soon as I can get my kids to break my husbands lazy OH-Boy that usually sits to the left.

      Rug searching for the right one that can tie in the current brown everyday suede to my down the road on the gray side couch.

      I'm liking the idea of bringing the gap forward and maybe another faux tile or a matchy brick. I like the ruggedness of brick but open to other ideas.
