A fireplace is one of the most time-tested home essentials, but even something tried and true needs a facelift from time to time. Depending on the style of your home, there are endless options for updating. It can be as simple as adding adding a new tile or trim border, but if you’re looking to go a bit further, making the fireplace the centerpiece of your living room is a great option. It can draw the attention and energy of your family and guests, and be a central area of congregation – warm, stylish and glowing. Some styles we love are a natural stone surrounds, addition of thick antique trims, and use of refurbished wood, or sleek, contemporary tiles. If you have a gas fireplace, there are other options such as raising the fireplace off the floor to waist level or creating an elongated fireplace area, both of which will have a focal point effect on the room.

This country house was previously owned by Halle Berry and sits on a private lake north of Montreal. The kitchen was dated and a part of a large two storey extension which included a master bedroom and ensuite, two guest bedrooms, office, and gym.
