Fireplace issues

So I have this hideous old timey looking stove-ish fireplace in my living room. I really like the exposed brick and it has gas logs which makes it nice for the winter, but the fireplace is not working with my decor. So I had no clue what I was going to do, I mean how do you create a new fireplace on a budget with limited DIY skills? But then I watched a life changing Divine Design on HGTV! Candice Olson is a genius and she actually designed a bedroom with a modern version of my fireplace. Now I just have to figure out how to recreate this in my own.

Not the best shot of the fireplace, but you get the idea.

The room from Divine Design and hopefully something I can recreate in my house.

So that's my plan. Stay tuned to see how it works.
