Fireplace
Raised hearth, very discreet mantel
Height above floor looks good. This manages to pull off the look with or without a brief mantel
stone fireplace mantel - I would be more subtle than this. Just a hint of one.
interesting, subtle. Step back is a "negative mantel"
This mantel looks awful - orphaned on the wall
This ledge did not turn out well. Don't know why
Ledge is in the wrong place - should be counter height. Sort of what we talked about.
Wood ledge - sort of
The ledge is sort of what we are thinking
wood mantel/ledge. We could also use a more rustic piece of wood
Brief stone or wood ledge above fireplace would finish the look
Even this much reveal for a mantel is enough. Just wide enough to set down your drink.
