Over the past week, we''ve been trying to update our family room to blend with the others we''ve already completed. As the house was built in1968, we had the "wood" panelling and an angel stone fireplace.
The panelling has been covered with drywall and painted, but the fireplace (wood burning
) really dates the room.
Our son suggested painting out the stone, but on reseaching that, we were told that it will take a gazillion gallons as the stone is so porous.
The next idea that was put forth was taking off the angel stone completely and starting over with a wood surround instead. That idea was nixed too as being unsafe.
I really love the wood burning aspect, but hate the angel stone. Does anyone have a safe way to solve this problem?
