I have red walls and a starch white
fireplace
. The fireplace looks aweful. I am not sure what would be a good color to paint it. Its a concrete fireplace.
I think the tan would be good. however my adjacent wall is tan, would that still look okay. My couch is dark brown

Unfortunately, I have a wood burning
fireplace
in my living room instead of a traditional fireplace. I like the look of the fireplace itself, but there is stone all on the wall behind it which limits what I can do color wise with the room. (I prefer color - not beige, which is all I can really use) There is also the stone encircling the fireplace on the floor.
Can I put some kind of drywall or plaster to cover up the stone, and still be able to use the fireplace safely? I would like a clean, solid look.

I am buying a house that doesn’t have a
fireplace
. In the future I would like to install one. I am currently figuring up my 5 year plan for the property and want to know about how much the addition of a wood burning masonry fireplace costs. I am aware that this is not the most efficient fireplace available, but this is what I am going to choose based strictly on my preference.
I have searched the internet and have found many articles debating different types of fireplaces, estimated resale value, etc. but nothing with a ball park dollar amount. If anybody has added a fireplace to their house or is a contractor who has worked on similar jobs, I would greatly appreciate an approximate figure.
Thanks!
Once again. I am aware that this might not be the most efficent or cost saving. The question is not what kind to build, but how much $$ am I looking at. This is what I am going to build. I just need dollar amounts.

I have a
fireplace
with old stone on it, and want to take that off and build a floor to ceiling fireplace, maybe using tiles (ceramic). Does anyone have any ideas or pictures of their own of something that’s not cheap, but not overly expensive either?
I have searched google, and only get the old style mantel fireplace images.

I need to replace my
wood stove
with a newer and more efficient one. Is a catalytic converter necessary with an air tight stove. Which brand is best for heating and some on top cooking. I need to heat 1,700 to 2,000 sq.ft.
