Before

After

The homeowner wanted to transform their 1980’s traditional home into an open contemporary dwelling. In the living room the fireplace was remodeled by installing a white stacking stone to the 10’ fireplace. The entrance from existing dining space into living room was enlarged and a header was installed to increase width of the entrance and transition from the 8’ ceiling in the dining room to the 10’ ceilings of the living room.  Just enlarging that opening a couple feet provided a nicer environment to entertain.
