What to do with this fireplace?
We are in the midst of renovating our cottage at the lake. I want to know the best (and least expensive) way of upgrading/covering this fireplace to a modern look. (Besides painting). My color scheme will be whites/blue/greens/etc all about the beachy look. Should I just tile over it, or what I really want is the wood panels to have it be ultra modern. Can you suggest anything? I am so bad at making a decision.

LizaJane It looks like the fireplace is close to the kitchen. Because the kitchen has lots of wood, I would er on the side of tile or venetian plaster. Remove mantle as well.
