Fireplace remodel "Help"

9年前

We just bought an older home that has two large stone fireplaces. The one on the main level is causing the subfloor to sag and it is pulling away from the wall. Therefore sooner then later as we had planned we will have to take down this huge fireplace. I would love a mantel and nice clean area, but with the hearth so tall need help with some ideas and maybe pics. Something like the last picture.
We are still unpacking so please excuse the stuff.

Once the stone is gone and the associated problems, get a new firebox that goes with the style of house that you are creating. You have a picture of a very traditional fireplace. Is your home now or going to be traditional? If so, copy your image. If you are more transitional, then don't have a higher hearth. Put the firebox at floor level and put tile in front of it. Then, put a simple mantel on the wall. If you want more pizzaz, add tile around the firebox... all kinds to choose from, including glass tile.
