This family of four embraced a modern makeover, bringing to life a space that now effortlessly houses their treasured books and board games with both style and function.
The Challenge: As you can see from the pics below, the original fireplace was characterized by its bare and overwhelming brick façade and lack of functional storage.
Before
Searching for a solution and finding their inspiration: The husband, with his engineering background, originally reached out to us and had drafted some preliminary designs with his initial thoughts. Check them out below:
While these initial designs are very simple, they helped so much in finding the perfect design for them.
We love to get any image or drawing from our customers, even if it's just a quick sketch of their idea.
After
Next, the wife gave us this image she found on Pinterest, helping to communicate her styling preferences:
Time for a professional designer to work some magic: In the pics below, you will find several design ideas that we came up with and presented in 3-D images. Some had lighting, some did not. One had us leaving the fireplace as it was, and one had us cutting and reducing its width:
Option 1: Basic cabinets built alongside the fireplace without any modification to the brick. We were not a fan of this version.
Option 3: We have a winner! Everyone was excited with the clean, simple details and how they fit in with the existing trim work.
Option 2: Much better! The lighting underneath the shelves, however... not our favorite!
Now that we had a final design, the project could begin.
Final Result: SUCCESS! Check out the gallery below to see the final result. The homeowners were thrilled and completely in love with their new space.
A Lifelong Impact: This transformation went beyond just aesthetics.
This living room makeover brought harmony to the family's everyday life. Once just a space, the room had now become a true reflection of their lifestyle and values, where memories are made and cherished.
