Drag to compare before & after
The client recently acquired a charming 1936 bungalow which was in dire need of a facelift. The focal point of the sitting room was an oversized, out of proportion fireplace. We talked with the client about his needs for the room, which included television viewing, space for a baby grand piano and a conversation area for up to 6 people sitting comfortably.
We removed the outdated, inefficient fireplace insert, the big box store cabinets and a small stone "backsplash" tile which flanked the enormous brick fireplace surround and mantel. We then designed and built a beautiful mantel incorporating base cabinetry, shelving for books and accessories, a place for the television and a beautiful mantel with a showcase area for a major piece of art. The glass mosaic surrounding the fireplace opening was the perfect frame for a new gas log set.
The end result? You be the judge. Call me if your fireplace or your family room needs a face-lift.
