New Ideas for Old Hearths

A Fine Federal

The detailed millwork surround on this fireplace conveys a sense of a Colonial heritage -- simple, classic lines that stand proud while avoiding ostentation. The wingback chair, candles on the mantel, and ornate mirror frame continue the high-country look. The room's quiet color scheme adds to the gentility.
