Creating a Whole New Sense of Space for the Homeowner’s Needs In Mind

This 1990’s family room in Lake Oswego was, let’s just say it … UGLY. Instead of pulling out the whole fireplace and starting new (costly), Revive came up with a design plan to repurpose elements of the brick into the new. The top part of the brick was removed and a new surround with fine wood moulding detail now encases the fireplace. Even above inside side the niche has recessed panels. The custom built cabinets on either side of the fireplace give the homeowners plenty of storage and displaying shelves for their treasures and family portraits. The nasty old carpet was removed and replaced with 3 ¼” red oak planks, blending into the adjacent kitchen flooring and refinished for a cohesive look. Ten new can lights installed on dimmer switches help create a chosen ambience when needed.
