Window treatments - I have a large bay window, with transom windows above, sun comes in and the tv is a mass of glare, any ideas? »

Budget Blinds Cover the transom windows with decorative window film. We have many different patterns. You can even add decorative faux iron to the transoms.

How was the fieldstone installed for the fireplace? Is there mortar or grout in between the stones. It doesn't look like there is any showing so I am just wondering how that was installed. It is just gorgeous! We are building a new home and using this as inspiration for our family room! Thank you for posting your pics. »

7lexi7 I just want to say that I've been looking at fireplaces for years (really...years) trying to figure out how to fix my fireplace. This is just a perfect fireplace for the room you've designed -- it's elegant and warm; hard to pull off both at the same time! Kudos.

What color did you paint your fire place? also did you use flat paint? »

Kelly Porter A similar color is Pearly White 7009 by Sherwin-Williams. If you're looking for a no or low-sheen finish, try their Duration Matte paint: http://www.sherwin-williams.com/do_it_yourself/products/duration_home_interior_acrylic_latex/

Kim Weaver It looks more of a gray color. Does it look more gray in person?

I love the stone surround...what type of stone is used? »
· Comment · 2 years ago
Castro Design Studio Thank you for the compliment!

The stone we used is a "fieldstone mix". I am not sure where you are located, but in the Atlanta area the stone is fairly common, and carried at most stone yards.

You could also get a similar look with bluestone, especially if you pick out stones with a grey and brown tint.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

What is the color and maker of this paint? »
· Comment · 2 years ago
triszam Maybe it's the lighting, but this room looks gray and the paints you named are yellow tones. Are you sure about the paint colors? I don't mean to be a pest. It's just that this room is one of the most beautiful, peaceful rooms I've seen. I've looked at literally thousands of rooms. This one is my favorite. The color and balance are just right. The drapes are gorgeous. The fireplace is stunning.

Do you do long distance consultations? My husband and I hope to purchase a new home in a year. I would like to hire your company to choose paint, window coverings, etc.

Castro Design Studio Thank you for the compliment, it is very flattering!

I am not 100% sure about the paint colors, but they had a hint of green, like the ones I mentioned. I can tell you that they look very different on a wall, as opposed to the little swatch on a paint chart.

If you lean towards the grey family, a fabulous color is "apparition" by Benjamin Moore. I believe it is color 860. You can do it in a half or quarter tone if it is too dark.

I would be happy to help you in any way I can. I have to confess that fabrics are not my strength. These were chosen by the client. If there is something I am unable to do, I can refer you to one of the interior designers with whom I usually work.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to 10 Ideas for a Fireplace Facelift
Use unexpected materials. A unique fireplace does not have to be supersize or bright to make a big impact. This traditional fireplace stands out because the designer, Rodolfo Castro of Castro Design Studio, replaced the expected brick surround with fieldstone, adding more texture and variations in color tones.Castro explains the logistics: "The stone is dry stacked with mortar — the mortar is used in the back part of the stone, so it does not show. The stones are 3 inches thick, so they can be stacked like bricks in front of the firebox, which is an Isokern unit."
added by Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. to 10 Inspired Ways to Refresh Your Mantel Now
Do you collect botanical prints? Display them on the mantel. It's fine to prop art up against a wall. Fresh potted plants act as perfect bookends.
