I don't want to get rid of it. I've thought about putting in an insert or something that would actually get used. What type do you have in your office, Duchess?
The brick just doesn't go with the Tuscan look I'm sort of shooting for and the ledge below it (and the whole fireplace) take up more room than they need to. I'd rather drop it down towards the floor, leave it centered on the wall and give it some pretty surround (a Tuscan tile, marble?). Fuck if I know but one thing begets another. We're going to have to replace the flooring in there anyway so if we're going to change the hearth, now is the time to do it.
I haven't even put a budget on this yet. I showed my husband your picture, Sally and he just rolled his eyes so I'm just barreling forward. I imagine this can't cost less than $100k, right? That's kind of my starting point but maybe I'm dreaming. Appliances, cabinets, floors...cha-ching!!!
Once you get over $100k, what's another $20 or $30? It becomes Monopoly money at that point, lol.
it's going to significantly increase the value of the home though. We'd take a giant hit for that kitchen. A lot of our neighbors have already upgraded theirs.
