My Dream Mid-Century DIY Fireplace Makeover

Working as a kitchen fitter, I spend most of my time in kitchens dreaming up my own personal DIY projects. My dream DIY job is to make over my fireplace! My fireplace is a gas unit in the corner of my living room, which is actually on a false wall. I plan on knocking down the top half of the false wall in order to create a custom nook to house the flat screen TV. This is a slightly intimidating DIY because it will involve cutting through stud beams and moving electrical wires which are running behind this wall. Additionally I would like to cover the fireplace wall with beautiful rustic stone tile, and add a decorative mantle. For the final touch I plan on replacing the cheap looking fake logs with a more modern and abstract stone fireplace insert. All of these changes will turn the fireplace into the focal point of the room, and it will be much more fitting with the mid-century modern décor of the living room.
