An attractive fireplace adds charm to any room. And a cozy fire on a cool night is a delight! Older homes often have fireplaces with large hearths and outdated brick surrounds. If you have an older fireplace that’s in need of an update, there are many ways to customize your fireplace and make it more current and sleeker.

Designing custom cabinetry, a mantel and surround completely transformed the appearance of an old facade of imposing rustic brick. Thin marble veneer tiles were added to cover the remaining exposed surround. Converting the wood-burning fireplace to gas by installing a gas insert allows for the comforts of a roaring fire without having the work and cleanup wood logs require. The brass and glass doors were another element that added individual style to the room.
