This fireplace has a mid century modBoho vibe. It is very earthy in appearance. The surround is a light gray, made to look like a Venetian plaster. I’m not sure how I feel about the sponged look which is why I gave 4 stars however I’m sure once it’s built it will look nice, I just want the finish to look natural and not “on purpose” It is a matte finish and has a nice wood mantle which adds warmth to this piece. Looking forward to cooler weather to see how this warms up our Florida room. Real flame makes great realistic fire features, can’t wait!
