Home Theater and Fireplaces
Instead of covering a fireplace with stone, we opted for a dramatic stone lit wall. This wall set the stage for their new basement space, as it was placed right at the bottom of their staircase. Imagine capturing the cinema experience right in your own home, without the annoying cell phones ringing, the tall people sitting in-front of you, and the sticky floors.
