Uniquely Theirs! What started as a basic drywalled chase, this fireplace area needed a unique update that represented the homeowner’s personality, gave them surfaces to decorate, and storage for necessary components. This enhanced the traditional living space and balanced the offset space in a visually pleasing way. We incorporated a custom-designed and cut tree mullion over the smoked dark glass component storage. Custom pewter-washed barnwood wall backs provide casual juxtaposition with the more formal wainscot at the fireplace chase. The 4” thick countertop carried across the full length of the fireplace bringing balance and warmth to the design.
