Hello BP, Looking for ideas to facelift this fireplace in a C+ area. walls will be painted agreeable grey.

The vaulted ceilings in the living room and the double sided fireplace caught my eye.

She does all our work from ceramics to decks to siding to fireplace to drywall. 

I believe you were there also, standing next to the fireplace.

We moved the fireplace to the corner of the family room.

Please reply with anyone you've worked with and was happy with their results in the following areas of work:Framer carpenter (I need a wall cut out to create a counter top bar between kitchen & dining room)Kitchen/Bath Cabinets (refinished on one wall & new ones installed on the other)Tile (shower surround and kitchen back splash)Granite Counter top installationPainter (paint full 2 br/bth condo, all walls & ceilings, framework, & possibly fireplace and cabinets)I appreciate your help in advance!

You may need to flip the pantry, island and doorway to work with the fire place wall and play with dimensions, but you get the idea. 

The front living room area smells like fireplace HORRIBLY, and the house is so dirty it is tough to live in.
