So the fireplace dominates the room and has at least 5 different finishes/colours I can see in the photo alone. (Negotiating access to the property pre-settlement as I type.. I think it has more in person.)
I'm all for features.. but the slate has.to.go.
Here she is:
And I want it to look like this (yes.. I'm dreaming.. LOL):
Would it be easier to put plasterboard up? Would I need to use formwork for that? (Don't want to bulk it up more though... ) I could probably pull the slate off, but wanted to go for something a bit quick and dirty as this is the living room and I didn't want to do something that was going to block the room off for a while. (I also have no idea what is under there.)
Does anyone have any other words of wisdom on how I could approach this? I originally thought to render it but there may be simpler options I'm not aware of.
thanks!!
