Fireplaces are great, he warmth of the crackling fire, the cracking old veneer that's falling off? Maybe your fireplace is looking terrible and could use a facelift? Giving your old fireplace a new look is a relatively cheap home improvement that gives you a lot of bang for your buck!
Here are a few of my favorites from around the web. Enjoy!
I really like this modern cultured stone look from Houzz:
