Fabulous Limestone Fireplaces

Decorating

How I plan to turn my fireplace into a fabulous limestone fireplace with some great inspiration photos.

 Fabulous Limestone Fireplaces  / Webb Interiors - So Much Better With Agesource

One of the most exciting plans for my Sweet Little Bungalow is putting in a limestone fireplace.

It’s been a dream of mine for I don’t know how long now because you know how much I love my Vintage French look.

Remember my 80s fireplaces that I painted? They were peach (PEACH!) so I had to do something with them but we couldn’t afford to do anything specific with them at the time.

Painting them was the next best thing. But these inspiration photos will show you what I really wanted.

I won’t be getting actual limestone (I need to be able to eat!) but I will be getting something with a very similar look.

This is the current state of my fireplace right now:

This is a similar fireplace that Foxcraft Stoneworks will be making for me.

It’s being made from cast stone which will save on costs and will look fabulous in the small space.

    Hi Jamie – I am in the planning stages for a major addition to our Northern Michigan home, and a family room with a limestone (cast stone) fireplace is the centerpiece of my dreams. I love the looks of yours, and I would be so interested in how you feel about your decisions now that you have been living with your decisions for a few years. I am thinking about a true woodturning FP. Is this going to be practical, or are smoke stains a big problem? It will be on an outside wall, so I could design it with a deep firebox. Would that require a tall chimney? This will be a single story addition. Any thoughts you could share now that you have lived with your design would be greatly appreciated.

      Hi Cheryl,
      It’s been four years since we renovated this house and I’m still in love with my fireplace! As much as I love a wood burning fireplace, this gas fireplace is perfect for our house. It heats the whole main floor in the winter and it’s so easy to put on (with just a flick of a switch on the wall). I wouldn’t use it nearly as much if it was a real wood burning fireplace. Also, I do think there would be smoke and/or soot stains with wood burning fireplace. I know you can get gas fireplaces without the glass so that it looks more ‘real’, you still might need a screen in front though. This fireplace has a chimney, I believe at some point it was a wood burning fireplace but when when we bought it, it had already turned to a gas fireplace.
      Hope this helps!
      Hugs, Jamie

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Making your own pillow covers is easier than you t Making your own pillow covers is easier than you think! I love changing out my throw cushions on my couch and just being able to store pillow covers is far easier than the whole pillow. 💚 I can only sew straight lines so if I can sew these, you can! It’s an envelope pillow pattern so no zippers or buttons involved.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it?
