What to do with the eye-wateringly ugly fireplace?

This is my fireplace. The mortar is dark grey, the rocks are called Moss Rock (I think) and the whole room is dark because of this space. The wood has to go, my husband HATES these rocks and wants to rip them out. I think that's a bit much, but we are stumped as to how to make them look better.

Any suggestions?

Replied

Are the rocks a structural chimney or just a cosmetic addition? It it's a full chimney then I would imagine it would be incredibly expensive to rip out. Some friends of mine ripped rock off their fireplace and replaced with shiplap an it looks great.
