But if I had it to do over, I'd cover it with bead board. I ended up with respiratory problems, but then I have asthma. We also had our brick fireplace covered. The guy did it with plywood and marble. We love it.<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-69258738345700779332010-11-06T11:01:36.226-04:002010-11-06T11:01:36.226-04:00I love your fireplace.
