I Had marble trim fall of my outside fireplace…any ideas on how to "glue" it back…need a stong glue?
You should chip the old thinset mortar off and clean the surface real good then put the piece back with fresh thinset. Since this piece is marble you want to use white thinset so the color does not bleed through.
To make it even stronger and more resistant to the expansion and contraction around the heat from a fire you should use a latex additive instead of water to mix the thinset.

I need to be inspired.
If you go into Barnes and Noble they have a great section for design and interior decorating for inspiration. I have a little old house and enjoy looking through the books dedicated to that.

we are looking for a house and found a nice one in westchester county ny but it doesnt have a fireplace. We don't want the ones that have a metal chimmney or a stove.
I had a chimney fire in a pre-fab metal chimney and fire box fireplace a few months ago. Being concerned, I asked the contractor about replacing it with a masonary firebox and chimney if there proved to be meld or damage upon inspection. I'm in SoCal and was shocked that he said between $10,000-12,000. But, our chimney is internal (between the floors and walls) so it would require major reconstruction to accomplish.

Where can I find brick fireplace designs or diagrams?
Check with your local mason's guild or bricklayer's union for materials you can use for inspiration, or check with the brickyards in your area to see what kind of marketing materials they can share with you. Otherwise, the local library is a great source of information and it's all in one place…and free.
