The formal living area in this Brooklyn brownstone once had an awful marble fireplace surround that didn't properly reflect the home's provenance. Sheetrock was peeled back to reveal the exposed brick chimney, we sourced a new mantel with dental molding from architectural salvage, and completed the surround with green marble tiles in an offset pattern. The chairs are Mid-Century Modern style and the love seat is custom-made in gray leather. Custom bookshelves and lower storage cabinets were also installed, overseen by antiqued-brass picture lights.

Floor view of the exposed chimney w/ molding. *NOTE: when the homeowner installed laminate flooring a few years back, he WISELY purchase 3 extra boxes for future repairs. Had he not done that, we would not have been able to remove 2 walls without completely replacing all flooring. This way, the match-up was a breeze!

This children's room in the original part of the house features an exposed brick detail in the corner of the room, framed by the trim, allowing you to peak into the past of the home's structure. Eric Roth

Siesta Key Low Country great room and kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, exposed wood beams, vaulted ceilings, and patio area. This is a very well detailed custom home on a smaller scale, measuring only 3,000 sf under a/c. Every element of the home was designed by some of Sarasota's top architects, landscape architects and interior designers. One of the highlighted features are the true cypress timber beams that span the great room. These are not faux box beams but true timbers. Another awesome design feature is the outdoor living room boasting 20' pitched ceilings and a 37' tall chimney made of true boulders stacked over the course of 1 month.

1920 Home Update This kitchen underwent a major remodel. When opening a wall, sometimes there are surprises that can be used as a new focus. Opening walls, exposing the brick chimney, custom cabinetry in natural maple, incorporating smart storage solutions, a unique back splash of stone, glass and metal and new appliances add sparkle. This kitchen even has a radiant heated floor, cozy for Connecticut winters. Photo: DeMane Design

This grand structure sat behind a badly plastered wall for 100 years. Now, with the exposed chimney, this young mother has a direct line of sight to her children through the open floor plan. From kitchen, through dining room, to family room!

This project salvages a historic German-style bank barn that fell into serious decay and readapts it into a private family entertainment space. The barn had to be straightened, stabilized, and moved to a new location off the road as required by local zoning. Design plans maintain the integrity of the bank barn and reuses lumber. The traditional details juxtapose modern amenities including two bedrooms, two loft-style dayrooms, a large kitchen for entertaining, dining room, and family room with stone fireplace. Finishes are exposed throughout. A highlight is a two-level porch: one covered, one screened. The backside of the barn provides privacy and the perfect place to relax and enjoy full, unobstructed views of the property. Photos by Cesar Lujan

The large walk-in shower doors have a floor-to-ceiling frameless design, creating the sense of space. Rich navy walls emphasize the white shower tiles and large soaking tub. The brick chimney flue was exposed to bring the character and warmth of the house into the new space.
