Fireplace Renovations
Transitional Living Room, San Francisco
Removing the surround and installing handmade glazed subway tiles instantly updated and streamlined the fireplace. The homeowners have some beautiful craftsman style furnishings made of quarter sawn oak so the mantel was custom made and stained to match, carrying the aesthetics through the room without being overtly "craftsman" itself. The bulky wood trip hazard trim around the hearth was also removed and the hearth was slightly expanded.
