Contemporary Ranch in Virginia

I added an exposed wooden beam across the top of this room to give the room a natural element to make you feel like you were outside. Since this room was an addition you can see the original exterior brick surrounding the fireplace. I was able to open the fireplace into this room creating a two sided fireplace and took the red/yellow brick and painted it a natural cream color to compliment the wall color I chose. Painting the brick a flat color made it look and feel more natural. You could stand all the way at the back of the home and see the front door from this room as it is a very open concept home.
