3. The fireplace in this Portland, Oregon, living room by M.O.Daby Design features a surround in a soft textured plaster finish. To the right, a Douglas fir cabinet with pocket doors conceals a TV. A seating nook on the left provides a nice spot for reading by the fire.
E2 Homes

    Basement recording session our Mod Lodge is mid 70s classic contemporary abounding in natural stone & wood, rustic but elegant, like a state park lodge hotel vibe, which we love for its aesthetics & the memories connected to this kind of locale. Art work & random, honestly collected bits n pieces: barley twist candle sticks, antique turned wood biscuit jars & beloved hand painted still from cinematic masterpiece Loving Vincent above the mantle make this home sweet home

    All lovely. I’d like to see what can be done with a standalone wood burning stove.
