I absolutely love having fires in the winter and in our new place, it was such a special treat to have a fireplace already in the master bedroom. Unfortunately, it was really ugly. The wall was a weird half wall, there was an outdated, not-very-well done surround and was just completely lack luster.

Here is the before

And the after.

Small changes make a huge difference. We added a mantle, marble surround, removed the glass/brass doors and completed the wall (why was it like this to begin with?) and voila. An entirely new focal point in our new bedroom.
