Oh that's beautiful! I really like that a lot! Are those hickory floors? We're doing natural hickory too!

Owens Corning cultured pro-fit ledgestone in southwest

We just went to our local stoneyard and showed them pics of what we wanted-dry stacked with gray and caramel tones. They had a few samples and we selected our stone. It's a local company (we are in the midwest and they use a quarry in Wisconsin) so you may need to see what's locally available. I don't have the name with me but can dig it up.

momto4inor,

Thanks - the floors are hard maple, 2nd & better.

Here's mine. It looks much darker in this picture than I think it actually is.

crazyhouse, do you know what your stone is?

Ours is from Boulder Creek. Ohio Rubble is the style and St. Claire is the color.

Inside...Pretty simple design...walnut mantle with limestone hearth/surround:

Outside:

I don't know how to imbed a picture, so here's a like to it.

We are thinking about using Sierra Shadowstone from Realstone Systems. Haven't built it yet, so no pics. Has anyone else used this? Samples looked nice at the store...

I don't know if anybody would find this beautiful, but it's something I designed way back in 1989. The shelves are mahogany.

We were going to use this young man to do a stone fireplace in our new home, but decided to do something with wood/tile in the craftsman style instead. His work is spectacular.

"Catawba" stone from western VA, black walnut timber for the mantel and ceiling beam, and a Jotul woodstove installed but not shown in this photo. The massive stone structure acts as a heat-sink when the woodstove is cranking, giving off the heat absorbed after the fire dies. The stone was cut on-site and the masons used a "lick-and-stick" minimal mortar technique.
