A formal living room at the entry of the home is the first impression, so it was very important to create a space that was unique, comfortable, and functional. Custom built-in bookshelves around the existing brick fireplace are the perfect solution to display personal treasures and store away games and toys. A large windowpane mirror creates a sense of openness and light. A unique light fixture, oversized clock, and wood starburst mirror add personality and whimsy.
