The rustic stone of the fireplace is a natural focal point in this great room. It contrasts nicely with the smooth stone of the floor. There is plenty of room near the windows for a grand piano, whose music carries throughout the home. Blinds filter the heat from the sun while an upper window allows in just enough light.

Rustic meets modern in this open great room. The fireplace and floors are faced with the same sleek, dark tile. The light fixtures are contemporary but the Edison bulbs harken back to earlier times.
The wall of windows, trimmed with log accents including two character posts, soars to the roof in this stunning great room. The fireplace is bordered by horizontal logs while the upper wall is clad with wood on an angle. The homeowners took their fireplace to the next level by adding shelves for storage and display.
