Great Room
As the name suggests, the great room is large-scale with elements that speak to luxury. The 12' tall ceiling with wooden beams magnifies the scale, and the 36" fireplace enhances the grandeur. Mixed with these extravagant features are hints of organic tones and elements that create a welcoming, peaceful space despite the grand scale.
Limestone Wash Fireplace
A limestone wash covers the fireplace to enhance it without diminishing the scale. The limestone color complements the light-toned, natural color palette of the house. The color and texture of the wash match the color and texture of a limestone rock found in nature, adding an element of simplicity to an already eye-catching piece.
Add Architectural Drama
Wooden beams stretch across the great room ceiling, enhancing the scale. This dramatic touch draws the eye to the ceiling height, creating an open, airy space. The open concept and wooden accents reflect nature and the organic features throughout the house.

We wanted to create an old-world feel while adding modern touches at the same time. We added these cool wood storage bins on either side to feature something of necessity and showcase it as a design element.

Functional Designs
The built-in wood storage cubbies blend historic necessity with modern luxury. Despite central heating that diminishes the need for a fireplace, fireplaces remain popular in homes. The fireplace in the great room establishes a traditional theme, while the storage cubbies add a modern twist. The fireplace needs wood to operate, so the storage cubbies fill that need while becoming a design element that showcases the wood itself.

Open Shelving
The fireplace is the focal point of the great room, with its large size and striking design. Open shelving complements the fireplace, accentuating it rather than overwhelming it. The floating shelves mimic the flared lines of the chase, getting bigger as they go up but still cut at an angle to add symmetry to the design. The concept of open shelving also opens the space in the room for a simple, clean look.
