What type of puck lights did you use?

- I am creating a fireplace wall very similar to this in my master bedroom. We are having difficulty figuring out how to put puck lights in a 3" tall shelf, where the light will be totally enclosed in the shelf. We have considered halogen pucks, but because of the transformer they need to use, we would need to increase the shelf to 3 1/2" tall, which is too chunky. We are currently researching whether we can fit LED pucks in a 3" shelf. Just curious how you made this work? Thanks!

    My kitchen and counter top are white. The family room is seperate but adjoining. We were considering putting in decorative beams like these. Would you put dark beams or paint them white to continue the theme of the cabinetry in kitchen which is white. I feel as though the fireplace mantle should be the same as the ceiling beams. Our floors are a warm honey hardwood. The window frames are also white in kitchen and family room.

Does putting a TV over the fireplace ruin the TV?

    Ellen is correct.

    Plus, woodburning fireplaces produce very little convective heat (hot air) versus radiant heat (which travels as light), so the area two feet above the fireplace opening is in very little danger, even without a mantel.

    If you are trying to mount to an actual masonry fireplace, the trick is usually related to getting all of the wiring done.

              Oversize Chase Lounge

              - How would you incorporate a chase lounge into this room? We have an oversize sofe and oversize love seat as well as the big chase. Our room is identical (almost) to this however, the french doors lead to formal dining and right book shelf is door to kitchen.

                              Put your sound system on one of the far ends of the room, along a short wall rather than the long wall. This allows the sound to travel out and diffuse and reflect toward the listener.

                              8. Rearrange your furniture. In the living room, symmetrical arrangements usually work well. Pull your furniture off the walls and use pairs (of sofas, chairs, lamps) to create an inviting conversation area.

                              Floating shelves above and on both sides of the fireplace give the family room a clean, crisp feel; the strong horizontal lines of the shelves are repeated in the mahogany ceiling beams. "My clients didn't want the rustic look of old beams and really love the crisp look of these mahogany beams," says Grasso. Turquoise throws and earth-tone glassware add splashes of color to the otherwise neutral palette. Natural light floods the space through two lofty windows and wood panel doors.
