I am so happy to have a photo of one of my fireplaces with a fire in it! Beautiful addition to the photo, and the piece is a beautiful addition to a beautiful room. There is something very strong about a fireplace with no mantle. Nice job, homeowner and architect.
And nice job carpenter! I’ve always been a big fan of cherry wood. I’m glad there is no painting on this wall.
I think limestone is a solid choice for a fireplace whether the fireplace is massive and imposing, or intimate and subtle.
