What a remarkable transformation for this living room! We were able to turn an obnoxious gas fireplace into something awesome. Regarding the large fireplace that had recently been installed, we agreed with our client that it looked like "the spaceship had landed" and was looming ominously within the space and demanding attention. We changed all this with a perfectly designed and installed double mantel with a traditional theme! It is a mind-boggler how adding mass to this fireplace somehow made the whole thing feel less imposing... That is the beauty of successful fireplace mantel design!
