This open concept design family room remodel flows seamlessly between the living spaces and is ideal for everyday living. A white sectional couch, solid wood frame upholstered arm chairs and a pair of classic gray 2-drawer sideboards and chic gold round mirrors flank the updated fireplace finished in a timeless honed herringbone marble tile surround and marble slab hearth.

The interior of the wharf cottage appears boat like and clad in tongue and groove Douglas fir. A small galley kitchen sits at the far end right. Nearby an open serving island, dining area and living area are all open to the soaring ceiling and custom fireplace. The fireplace consists of a 12,000# monolith carved to received a custom gas fireplace element. The chimney is cantilevered from the ceiling. The structural steel columns seen supporting the building from the exterior are thin and light. This lightness is enhanced by the taught stainless steel tie rods spanning the space.

Contemporary media unit with fireplace. Center wall section has cut marble stone facade surrounding recessed TV and electric fireplace. Side cabinets and shelves are commercial grade texture laminate. Recessed LED lighting in free float shelves.

Tucked neatly into an existing bay of the barn, the open kitchen is a comfortable hub of the home. Rather than create a solid division between the kitchen and the children's TV area, Franklin finished only the lower portion of the post-and-beam supports. The ladder is one of the original features of the barn that Franklin could not imagine ever removing. Cleverly integrated into the support post, its original function allowed workers to climb above large haystacks and pick and toss hay down a chute to the feeding area below. Franklin's children, 10 and 14, also enjoy this aspect of their home. "The kids and their friends run, slide, climb up the ladder and have a ton of fun," he explains, "It’s a barn! It is a place to share with friends and family." Adrienne DeRosa Photography

The open kitchen concept looks good only if all parts of the space are visually appealing - that's why we remodeled the fireplace, refinished the chimney, and enclosed it in concrete. https://123remodeling.com/
