| Corner Fireplaces are tricky...this one needed more room to breath. Taking down the wall between the Living and Dining Rooms was a good start, and working out the proportions of the fireplace, creating returns back to the wall, and finishing it in drywall and paint brings it up to date. |

| The fireplace now looks in proportion, doesn't take up too much visual space, and with the removal of the wall, can breath, not feeling crowded. |

Gorgeous transformation Michelle! I find that the new fireplace, all in white, makes the room appear taller... the photo showing red-brick fireplace & room looked like a basement-height room. Such a wonderful difference to the space - light and airy!!
Love!!

Transformation is fantastic! How important scale and color are . Dull, cramped and dated into vibrant, airy and modern. Bravo Michelle.

Amazing! This is the type of before and after that I love!
Wow, great job! I love how open and airy the room looks now. The white wall makes a huge difference.
Love what you did Michelle. Getting rid of the brick and streamlining the wall, brilliant! Beautiful room.
Removing the wall is a brilliant idea. It really added some extra space and the room appears a lot bigger now. I am also in love with the interior of the house. It looks really sophisticated.
