A Light and Airy Hearth


House Beautiful Magazine features a A Light and Airy Swedish-Style Cottage.
"It's young, light, and happy," says designer Alexandra Angle of this Americana-meets-Swedish cottage home in Venice, California. She brightened up the formerly dark house by redoing a hearth in colorful tiles, adding beadboard to the walls, and using plenty of cheery patterns throughout.

"It was inspired by antique Swedish tile stoves. There was just a plain firebox there, and I came up with the idea of tiling the wall with antique Portuguese tiles. I took them all the way up to make it more of a focal point," explains Angle.

Ventless Fireplaces are a great way to spruce up your decorating without the costly and timely process of remodeling a brick hearth and chimney.  No electricity, no gas, no flue required.  www.hearthcabinet.com

Unique Oblique Fireplace

Design Milk features a very unqiue fireplace design in a unique space...
"Located in Kiev, Ukraine, this apartment by designer Sergey Makhno is approximately 538 square feet in size and is done “in the style of deconstruction.” The walls feature unique geometric angles that jut out and give the apartment tons of character. The walls are painted darker shades including blue, green and even black (we like). The furniture and the bathroom fixtures are all composed of non-rectilinear lines as well. I especially love the clusters of Crosslight hanging fixtures everywhere."

Hearth Cabinet Ventless Fireplaces can be placed anywhere and customized to almost any color or size you can think of.

This Old House TV Project: Before and After

Via This Old House: 
"Remodeling is no task for the timid—especially if you've barely lived in your house before taking the plunge. But a fast-track timetable suited Allison and Raveen Sharma, owners of the latestThis Old House TV project, just fine. Before buying their 1940 Colonial Revival in Auburndale, Massachusetts, the couple asked their architect for ideas on updating it. Scarcely more than a year later, they're living in the sunny, colorful home of their dreams, courtesy of theTOH TV crew and a design team that understood and improved upon the couple's vision. Red walls set off by white trim offer a dynamic backdrop for the revamped living room."

Hearth Cabinet offers traditional, contemporary, and custom designs that are easy to install for any renovation project.
