BEFORE AFTER SUMMARY After working with Interior Designer and customer, we successfully turned this outdated see thru flag stone fireplace into a beautiful focal point for the two rooms. Just after closing escrow this customer called upon us to dress up this painted stone fireplace. So we got right on the job creating this wonderful facade with sconces and light brown marble. Here was a T. V. just sitting in a niche next to a bland fireplace. We added a custom oak entertainment center and mantel to match the kitchen on the other side of the room. This is a very old fireplace that needed a lot of attention. We started off by patching and repairing the structure of the fireplace. Then we added a raised marble hearth and surround followed by an elegant white mantel with corbels. The first thing I say when I walked into the front door was this bland painted white brick. After looking through our catalog, the customer chose this walnut mantel and back panel with travertine marble to totally disguise the old brick. This was an old stone fireplace in the master bedroom. We started by covering the stone with a mantel and panel. New marble and hearth and surround followed by custom dressers on each side to fulfill our customers needs. This is a new home with the basic drywall design they call a mantel. We started off by tearing off the old mantel and tile. We then built a raised hearth with new marble followed by a custom walnut mantel.
