Fireplace Makeover
The fireplace is usually the main focal point of almost any room. If it?s an eyesore, it can bring the whole room down. Ron visits a Pacifica, California home to demonstrate how, with the right tools and a little bit of know-how, a fireplace makeover can make a home and hearth feel warm and cozy.
 
Fireplace Mantel
A fireplace is usually just a black hole in the wall until it is framed by decorative elements called a surround and mantel.

Do to the fact that the hearth was the same width as the outside of the fireplace it would have been difficult to instal a complete surround and have it look right.
