Some Ideas to Consider …

  • Build In Shelving Around Your Fireplace

    At Country Club Homes, one of the ways we love helping clients create warmer, more family-friendly spaces is with fireplaces. A beautiful fireplace adds so much to a living room, and when it’s framed with built-in shelves, it really becomes a balanced and functional element of your space.

    Stained wood shelving creates a natural, rustic appearance. We love this look when paired with a stone wood-burning fireplace.  This creates a cozy atmosphere that your family will love!
