Thanks Papaya.

This is kind of the scheme I was imagining, though I think I would pick a more prominent wall:

This is called "soft contemporary" style and likely a faux stone veneer...it's a good look too and the installation is practically identical so it should be cost effective.

I'm thinking about doing something like that but with a brick veneer, to give my pad the exposed brick look. It comes in tiles that are 10" by 28". About $8/sft for materials. Not cheap, but if done right can bring multiples of that in market value/resale.

Also, you can install a modern fireplace. These things can be bought for under $500. They are fairly shallow, and of course are artificial. And you'll need some carpentry skills to install it inside a wall.
