A tired brick fireplace was morphed into a stunning focal wall and entertainment unit for this family room. Cleft travertine tiles were added to the facade of the fireplace and extended across the entire wall for a dramatic effect. Rift sawn white oak was used on the custom built cabinetry to accentuate the horizontal feel of the new focal wall. The orginial exposed I-beams were clad in the same rift sawn white oak to give an updated contemporary feel. Photo by: Dena Brody
