The old fireplace and hearth was removed and a new retro-fit fireplace installed in this historic home so the owners could use the small fireplace. The tile hearth was installed, and the older tile surround was preserved. Photo by Gene Padgitt

Our homeowners approached us for design help shortly after purchasing a fixer upper. They wanted to redesign the home into an open concept plan. Their goal was something that would serve multiple functions: allow them to entertain small groups while accommodating their two small children not only now but into the future as they grow up and have social lives of their own. They wanted the kitchen opened up to the living room to create a Great Room. The living room was also in need of an update including the bulky, existing brick fireplace. They were interested in an aesthetic that would have a mid-century flair with a modern layout. We added built-in cabinetry on either side of the fireplace mimicking the wood and stain color true to the era. The adjacent Family Room, needed minor updates to carry the mid-century flavor throughout.

“Green Roof”. Deep green accents complement the wood tones in the family room. Interior Designer Phyllis Taylor says that the deer motif began unexpectedly with a trip to New York’s Chelsea where she discovered a shop the offered multiple paintings of deer and antlers.
