How do I renovate my center fireplace?

When you walk through the front entrance door, the back of my fireplace is what you see. As you walk though (and around the fireplace), you move into my main area, the living room. I am completely renovating my house and believe that since this is the center of my house, I should remodel it first. Built in the 80’s, it’s all brick until you hit the cellings. I would love to update it but not sure how. Do I knock down all the brick or build and add plywood and tile to the outside? Just really, really needing some assistance…. Thank you!

OMG I wouldn’t take down the brick, that’s too much work.
If you want a smooth surface for the top, frame out the area with wood and cover with drywall, then paint.
If you want to cover it all with a more modern rock then look at this site:
You can also tile over the brick.
Before you get busy with the sledge hammer, maybe you should do a little research online at some fireplace remodeling.
Good luck!!!

Tengo el mismo problema. Tan pronto como usted entre en la puerta principal usted hace frente a la parte posterior de la chimenea. Tengo espacio abierto a la derecha e izquierdo. Qué la gente lo hizo antes de que estuviera la cubierta el lado trasero entero y extiende a la pared derecha de la casa para crear una península de la derecha. La golpeé trago y ahora tengo el mismo problema el su tener. I' m apenas que va a señalar los ladrillos y a poner un espejo enorme en la parte posterior y a poner la estantería decorativa que podría alcanzar del lado de la chimenea a la pared. Llámela un día y un it' s barato. Si usted descubre cualquie otras buenas ideas apenas me dejan saber.
Gracias.
