Seeing Green
A new gas fireplace with an elegantly carved antique pine mantel adds character to the living room. Bumping out the wall to accommodate the firebox helped break up what had been a monotonous 28-foot stretch of blank space. Mirrors on either side of the fireplace were custom made using antique Swedish door panels. The base of twin console tables beneath the mirrors were made from salvaged wrought-iron balcony railings from Italy.
