After:
From drab to show stopper, the facade of the fireplace is covered in sheetrock and painted into new life with a bold stroke of red.
The new surface was required on three sides of this massive central element, as the back side faced the entry, setting the tone for the home's whole interior. The successful rework included an inset coat closet door.
Retaining only the original marble hearth, the new black granite surround and wide cap-style mantel add drama and functional detail.
Maughan Design provided color consultation, material selection, and construction documents for this project.
