This room started out as a small, dingy white room with white walls, white carpet and a tiny red/brown brick fireplace. We tore out the old brick and extended the fireplace to the ceiling. White stacked stone and a custom wood mantel complete this focal point. Slate floors replaced the tired carpet, and the walls received a coat of deep navy blue paint for depth and to really make the fireplace pop.

The modern textural tile used at the fireplace reinforced the modern aesthetic created throughout the house. Normandy Design Manager Troy Pavelka also integrated a beautiful tray ceiling with crown molding and LED cove lighting which provided this space with plenty of natural light.
