I was watching a couple on DIY network the other day renovate their living room and kitchen. They wanted to face their fireplace with stone without the expensive price tag, so they decided to tackle it themselves. After watching the couple do it themselves with very little experience, I thought to myself...I could do that! I told my husband my idea....he was not nearly as enthusiastic about as me. He's not the diy-er of the family.

Then we met with the company building our house to finalize the floor plan last night. We were informed that the price they quoted us to have the stone go all the way to the ceiling did not include wrapping it around the side. Since we are having a gas fireplace, we do not need a chimney and moved the whole fire box inside the house.....it looked ridiculous on the outside of the house otherwise. It had this weird little roof on it and just looked hideous! But back to my point.....thanks to our little meeting last night, the diy stone fireplace idea isn't sounding as bad to my husband now!
I can't remember where I found this photo recently, but this is what I have envisioned in my mind for our fireplace....with an old barn beam from our barn as the mantle.
