Fireplace
We want to install a direct-vent gas fireplace. Our house is wood over a crawl space, and I think it moves around too much to support a spectacular display of stone, brick or tile. So, my preference would be to have a small amount of beautiful hand-made looking, &/or arts and crafts style tile, with a wood mantel surround or frame.
