The proposed remodel for the living room fireplace area includes replacing the rustic stone facade with a modern, minimalist mantel, approximately 10 feet wide and 8 feet tall. The light gray finish enhances the contemporary aesthetic, making the space feel more open and inviting. Adding built-in shelves with LED lighting on the left allows for display of decor items and books, adding both functionality and style.
