Fireplace make over. We removed the mantel and old tile surround. We installed custom cut Equator marble for the hearth extension. We used matching white subway tiles to complete the surround. Then re installed the mantel and added Stoll glass doors

This modern fireplace design was created using Quartzite Ledgestone. This stone is paneled and contains a slight shimmer when light is directly on it. The stone contains a mixture of muted natural tones while the look of stacked stone provides the allusion of a larger wall.

Voila! The transformation is complete. We addressed the fireplace by covering the existing facade with a modern stacked stone and a custom reclaimed burl wood mantle. We brought the ceiling into play by hanging a fabulous Currey and Co. iron chandelier. It is artistic and interesting. The yellow leather tufted chair and orange chests draw the eye to the far corners of the room. The sofa and chair are upholstered in a soft performance velvet so young children can use the space without concerns. The computer/desk work area adds another level of functionality to this space for a growing family. David Keith Photography
