Fire Place Makeover Day 1

This week is the start of the fireplace makeover I am working on with Downing's Custom Construction. The client requested a warmer, cozier environment for their basement/den; the main factor to giving them that is a fireplace face lift. As you can see, their fireplace is covered with floor to ceiling cinder block. My recommendation was to get out of "jail" and warm it up with a new facade. What we chose to do was level out the cinder block, add tile around the firebox, them use textured wall paper on the fireplace surround to add warmth, dimension, and height to the room(more on that later). The photo below represents Day 1, adding the facade made from a mixture of drywall mud and glue. Up next, the wallpaper; stay tuned!
