Moldings around chimney?

[super_sam]

Planning to install moldings around the chimney but wondering what options are available.

High baseboards around are not working well because the wall is quite uneven.
Perhaps it's not even allowed to attach wooden moldings to the wall?

How have you done it?

Something that looks nice is to place a neat quarter round over the joint, just enough to cover the gap. Such a nice murstock is a shame to cover up.

I have installed both ceiling and floor moldings around the chimney, glued with PL400 applied in spots, and then used hot glue to hold it in place until the PL400 dries. The wall is quite uneven, but I applied glue to the highest points, and once the glue dried, I filled with acrylic sealant in several rounds and smoothed it out. My wall is white, but it should be possible to mask the wall with silver tape and then remove it after applying the sealant.

Around my chimney stack, there was a masonry edge about 5 cm and then a cove molding about 5 cm, perhaps to avoid having wood around the chimney stack.

What do the fire safety regulations say?

I read that you can have wooden molding on the ceiling, so I suppose also moldings on the floor.
So you can only have end grain against the chimney, BUT at the bottom and at the ceiling, it’s not so important :-?
I read it a few hours ago but now I can't find that article unfortunately :'(

High baseboards all around do not work well because the wall is quite uneven.

Speaking of uneven...
In the picture, the baseboard is attached to a screwed-in board that has the same thickness as a plastered "edge" around the chimney. A space up to the top of the baseboard is also plastered and then filled with wood filler. The crown molding is attached directly to the plastered edge, screwed in with plugs. The joined corners are glued.
I'm considering painting edges with a type of granite paint that has the same appearance as the plaster between the stones.

Ok, so here it turned out.

Below, I installed a quarter round molding and filled in with mortar in the gaps.

Above, I installed crown molding around and filled in with latex in the gaps against the ceiling.

Ok, here's how it turned out.

At the bottom, I put a quarter-round molding and filled the gaps with mortar.

At the top, I placed crown molding around and filled the gaps with latex against the ceiling.

I actually think it turned out great
