[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4429383, member: 1136"]Edwardian would be about the right era.. I dont think the bricks [I]need[/I] sealing, but they remind me of the brook trout, so I'd like to darken them just a little and give them a light gloss to help them *pop* and become more of the center piece of the room. The hearth tiles are square, tan, ugly, and a few are cracked. I'm toying with the idea of tearing them out and doing a brownish tinted cement that would replicate the large stones on a river bottom, and staining the mantle back to a warm wood color. I'm *hoping* it will tie the whole masculine "hunting room" look together. [ATTACH=full]379047[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379049[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379048[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
