This Client is a Real Estate Broker who got a good deal on an outdated Jersey Shore Vacation Home. He put a substantial amount of work into it. We were hired to revamp the Fireplace area which was new brick, had no mantel, and had a very 70's feel.

The Ceiling was over 13 Feet Tall, so we decided to design the piece in sections to give it more variation and interest as a focal point of the room. The upper portion is kiln dried reclaimed lumber installed horizontally which we mitred at the corners for a seamless look at any vantage point. The lower portion is painted vertical Shiplap to achieve the nautical look the client was going for throughout the home. A three sided chunky 3 1/2" painted mantel to divide the Two areas as well as make room for decorative objects, art and photos. We wired a light switch below the mantel for the decorative Anchor on the Living Room side. We finished the opening of the fireplace with trim and surrounded the bottom of the entire piece with base, cap, and shoe mouldings to match the rest of the home.
