The new fireplace is the centerpiece of the first floor. The Gold Mica fieldstone is rustic and warm, and the reclaimed farmhouse beam keeps the farm's history alive. The Dutch door to the right of the fireplace leads to the the new library. It is used as a "gate" for the homeowners' three dogs and gives the space flexibility. It can be somewhat open to other spaces, or it can be closed completely for privacy. Photo Credit - David Bader
