What kind of hearth...

[purplemonkeydishwasher]

for this fireplace?

We just bought one like it and need ideas.

thanks!

cream?? looks very nice

I'd go dark, either matt slate or a big glossy slab of black granite.

It IS nice!!

We're so excited!!

i'd go dark too
but light walls
lovely fireplace by the way

Definitely marble or granite. Ie glossy and classy, but not one flat colour. What other colours are in your room?

The walls are a darkish green with white doors, windows ceiling etc. We want to redo the floor in a really dark brown.

That sounds like it would be a dark room but it's an old house. really high ceilings and a huge bay window in the front.

we have a similar one and the hearth is terracotta tiles, looks lovely.

I've no idea what it's called (or where it comes from) but I've seen a gorgeous granite that was basically dull red but had flecks of cream and shimmery green in it. The green looked like chips of dark translucent jade. I just stood in the shop and stroked it....
