Sitting on a ridge line with spectacular views of distant mountains, the primary living space has to feature expansive windows. At the same time, a fireplace to cozy up next to is a must, and a television and media center will play

With all of us spending more time at home these days and with winter just around the corner, we’ve been dreaming up fireplace designs for a variety of current projects. Each of our clients wants something slightly different, and as evidenced by our past posts on fireplaces, there are many different directions to go in
