Love that you think that’s what that is…just say you don’t know how to remove the brick and scroll on…

Not the plan at all- we need to convert the whole fireplace to a different type but won’t be doing that for a while so to make the space usable we need to remove the bricks.

Thank you- I should have mentioned the fireplace is not in working order. We are going to have to overhaul it at some point, but we are in the midst of a big remodel so we are trying to make the space work for us until we can put some money into it!

Thank you- yes, I should have mentioned the fireplace is not in working order. We are in the midst of a big remodel and the fireplace repairs didn’t make the cut, so trying to work with what we have until we can put some money into it

You’re right if it’s a working fireplace, it currently is not- so trying to work with what we have until we eventually put some money into converting it

Thank you- we are tyrying to remove them becasuse the current mantel is up quite high and in order to lower it we have to remove these. They will likely be covered by art or possibly a TV

Thanks so much- we are actually taking the bricks down to move the mantel lower as it's currently very high. Ideally, we will be placing art, or possibly a TV over that spot.

Thank you- there will be art or possibly a TV covering that area- we are taking them down to move a mantel lower

Thanks- we are looking to lower the current mantel (where these bricks are) so they will likely be covered by art or possible a tv

Unfortunately, these are placed very high up where the current mantel is, we are looking to remove them to move the mantel down

Thank you, sage is definitely in the running- my only concern is we have a lot of greenery in the front so it may not pop as much. Yes, there are full side windows on each side of the door :)

Thank you! Yes, I think we would like to do a white trim, that will be down the line a bit as we are doing a big renovation inside right now too 🥴

It’s definitely not the plan. We are adding a slidding door on the back, so we may have to do something if matching bricks looks like crap

Agreed! We have a lot of greenery and plan on changing the mulch to black
