If we can't find a fireplace that we like, maybe we should just get an empty frame and put a nice candelabra in it. A /There will surely be a fireplace that you will like since there are many options out there. R no candelabras!! Looks like Lauren is dead against Candelabras!! We can surely have other creative ways to decorate the space if the space does not have a fireplace. Instead of a box inside we can line the inside with brick veneers or some decorative tiles and the even showcase some artwork or pottery etc. R
An example of an even taller bench. Oooh! A this is actually kind of okay -L We can absolutely do this A. With same concept we can have the right cabinet jut out more that the left and extend the raised hearth all the way to the left. To get this effect we may have to do away with the current traditional wooden white mantle. R
Light stone, dark cabinets... A
