New Fireplace Digs

Fireplace Season is almost here. The summer heat is finally winding down and the fall breeze is beginning to chill. It’s not too late to remodel that fireplace before Thanksgiving.
Whether your taste is sleek or transitional, there are more options than ever for clients venturing into this aspect of their home. Too many homes are equipped with unattractive fireplaces that make the home’s interior look outdated. It is possible to combine the functional aspects of the fireplace with better design that will bring your home’s interior design into the 21st century.
