Way too contemporary?
Q
Tile at the bottom
Still not built out enough from the wall
Should I consider making it a feature all the way up the wall?
Risk of doing too much - trim complicated and marble very busy
One way to frame it
If he hasn’t raised it yet?
Worst case possibility
Nice surround
Can it be built out only at the bottom?
Likely as far out as we can go?
Also looks awful - is brick color too distracting?
Would this be better if simpler tile?
This level of simplicity for the surround?
Eh
Close?
Maybe white isn’t too bad?
What I’m trying to avoid
Everything I want to avoid!!!
Not crazy about this
What not to do
Why does this look so cheap compared to similar? Is it that important to create a box out of the surround?
Am I stuck with this look?
Is it better to mimic the fireplace sides with the hearth?
Don’t want the side of the fireplace on top of the hearth
Tile hearth - do the pillars of the mantle have to rest on the hearth?
Best build out from the wall
Way too contemporary?
