I used the plans as a jumping off point and made adjustment accordingly. I didn't want the wall to show through, so I made a firebox from wooden door shims laid out in a herringbone pattern. Some of the shims were left natural, while randon ones were whitewashed. The entire fireplace was painted using Behr paint in Polar Bear White.
