Describe the project, what makes it unusual, and/or any outstanding characteristics.
Client wanted to conceal some of the floor-to-ceiling stone on her existing fireplace, plus add some storage space to the left side. We provided painted wood panels to conceal the stone, and used casing to frame the stone reveal around the fireplace. A custom valance across the top hides the LED tape light. The cabinets to the left have glass doors with LED lighting inside, with a shiplap back in the upper open area. Rustic oak wood lines the firewood storage area in the base cabinets.

List any items that were outsourced.
