FIREPLACE HELP NEEDED!

hace 3 años

Hi Everyone! I need help with our fireplace. I'm thinking of using shiplap for the chimney similar to this photo: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/257549672425534980 and painting it SW Dover White (to match our trim). Then, I was thinking of using limewash on the bricks; however, I have seen a lot of limewash turn bricks a pinkish color and that is NOT the look I'm going for. LOL! Here are some photos of our awkward fireplace. If you have any suggestions for what to do with it or how to decorate around it, I would really appreciate it. Many thanks in advance!

Your link is defective. Just links to Pinterest and not the specific photo.

This fireplace has a mortar smear technique which is different than limewash.

You can apply a lot or a little limewash to brick. It's your decision. See images below.

Many thanks for the photos. The colors on these bricks look a lot better than what I was able to find online.

Hello Janice. I understand you already own the furniture and you wish to reupholster them or dress them, is it correct? Could you send us a picture of your space, so we can give more accurate ideas? Thanks :)

Q
(0) comentarios
My project is a small convenience store. The client pretty much wants to use as much space from the lot as he cant so the floor plan is just a rectangle, a simple rectangle. In front there's a covered terrace and i tried to make an entrance that can stand out. The problem right now is I dont want the roof design to be simple, but I'm having trouble with this. Im attaching the floor plan and two options for the main facade. HEEEELP! El proyecto es una tiendita pequeña. El ciente quiso utilizar el terreno al maximo, es por esto que la planta arquitectonica es rectangular, un simple rectangulo. En la fachada principal hay una terraza cubierta y trate de hacer una entrada que resalte. El problema que encuentro ahora es un diseño para el techo que no sea simple. Estoy adjuntando la planta arquitectonica y dos opciones de fachadas. AYUUDA! Mil gracias.

The type of window, as well as the orientation of the room, are determining factors when choosing curtains. It is also important to consider the light we need in this space as well as the degree of privacy we want. The curtains help to dress anywhere so it is so important that you dedicate time to your choice and we help you in that. ☎️305-699-5589 Free Consultation www.artecblinds.com @artecblinds #blinds #windowtreatments #blackoutcurtains #curtains #interiordesign #interior_and_living #interiordesigner #decor #design #housedesign #homestyle #house #housedecor #homedecor #luxurylifestyle #luxuryhomes #styleathome #apartmentdecor #innovation #remodeling #renovation #roominspiration #roomdecor #love #beautiful #instagood #brickell #miami #realestate #generalcontractors

roof top ideas

Hi Marina ! I think you have a place that offers a lot of design opportunities. First of all, you would have to see the direction of the sun to locate the places of stay and plan the vegetation. The best thing is that you use vegetation that absorbs the rain and does not need great maintenance and irrigation to minimize the work due to the access it presents. I could help you make a 3d design if you wanted to visualize ideas for your terrace, I would be happy to assist you! Greetings and good day!

Would you consider removing your mantel and putting built-ins on the sides?

Are you able to see the entire photos (I can on my computer, but for some reason, my iPad is not letting me). Anyway, there are bricks at the bottom of the fireplace. Hopefully, you can see that. Would you suggest tearing out the bricks and having built-ins start from the floor?

So a couple options depending on what you're looking for. You could keep it as is and still put built ins under the sides (I think it would help ground the eye) and also make the split in materials feel more purposeful. So the mantel would be at the height of the tops of the built-ins. Or you could get rid of the mantel and do a single material if you'd prefer to draw the eye up (a further or, you could still do built ins and then do them any height you want, like full height).

I am not sure that having the bottom and the top in two different materials is necessary... You have that magnificent height which should be emphasized....Having the base different makes the fireplace look really small and disproportional to the space...top heavy. This is such a monumental element...take the advantage of it... Sometimes a use of different material can change a sense of scale, like in this project above where we wanted to make the space to feel taller and fireplace larger. In your case creating a illusion that FP is wider, the base wider would help the scale.

The space need wide strokes....larger elements... The mantle is too thin. The left side (black should be in the angle towards the corner and split phase surface....with the light below the mantle to emprise the texture. The same material on the other side with the floating shelves to keep the corner towards hallway open. Asymmetry sometime works well...and the hearth material should not be brick but large scale tile....love the fan... so you need some more robust elements to complement that industrial look...
