A Rustic Fireplace Gets an Elegant New Look
A beautiful 4” Austin-cut stone was selected to replace the original stone. Unlike many of the fireplace remodels we’ve done, this fireplace used real stone instead of the usual cultured stone (synthetic manufactured veneers).
We also installed a custom cedar log mantle with a beautiful black walnut stain, providing nice contrast against the white stone. To enhance the appearance even more, we added LED lighting behind the mantle.
The bookcase was also backlit with LED lighting, and the heavy shelves were replaced with wood-trimmed glass shelves for a lighter, brighter look.

I like this stone. It's larger than ledger stone. Kind of like the color too but, need to see against wall color.
