I’m not 100% sure of the stone color but I believe it is a mix as follows (this would be cultured stone by Boral):

90% Bucks County Country Ledgestone CVS-368183

10% White Oak Country Ledgestone CVS-20046 mixed in as needed.

I love bellesum's fireplace too, but would have reservations about a 'modern country' style living room in a Victorian conversion. I also quite like your existing fireplace, but not in your room! Its height makes the room seem uncomfortably tall and narrow. I'd advise a refit with a new wider firebox, broader surround and just mantle height. I can't believe I'm suggesting a conventional refit! Shame on me!

We do have a Steptoe's up here not far from us but it's (dare I say it) wretched! Dark, not clean, badly organised. The one near you, though, AMAZING! We go down every year and take two big cars (we have a Picasso and our friends who live in Devon have a Forester), lol, fill them to the brim every year:) Last year we ended up shipping a lot of it back to Scotland as otherwise we wouldn't have got us, the luggage, and the Roo in to go home!

I think you could probably look at taking out that bit of red... Plasterboard? Leave the surround! Marble surround is fantastic and you could really open up the fireplace more actually.. You could take out the small grate and have the entire recess open and then buy stylish basket that is bigger even if you don't use it. You will see what the width is when you uncover the front. Just make sure the lintel is intact which I am sure it is... I had to add another to be sure. See image.. You see what I mean about being open.. Also I was not as lucky as you as I found my marble mantle piece bashed up in pieces at the back of the recess... I could not afford to replace it... So it's a piece of wood and two brackets! You have red above the picture rail, so I would keep that and paint the chimney breast a deep deep red that compliments what is already in situ. Also raise the mirror slightly or even replace with something a little bigger in height. : ))

Thanks. Oh yeah, we're definately doing other rooms ! The whole house from top to bottom eventually. This room was top priority as it's the sitting room, we wanted to put our 'stamp on the place'. We've only been moved in since the start of the year. This is the before room, taken from the Estate Agents listing: .......... And now (trying to take a pic from the same place) The conservatory is hard to change, pic taken from the Estate Agents listing: ....... And now (taken this morning) - currently has our old sofa in there until we find some conservatory furniture that doesn't look like it belongs in a 1970's old peoples home. Only change is really the addition of blinds The study pic taken from the Estate Agents listing: .......... and now it's my man cave / music room And then .............. The current kitchen is getting ripped out and a new one put in starting 30th May. There is also a dividing wall that's being taken down between the kitchen and dining room to allow for a breakfast bar and a much bigger space. Designs from the kitchen people below Oh, and the double garage is slowly taking shape into the gym: Sorry for picture overload.
