Happy Friday all!!! I’m not sure about your thoughts, but I think its been turning into a very beautiful fall here in the north east. While the days were still warm, the mornings and nights have been really cooling down. I love all four seasons, so naturally I am just totally excited about this. Summer was awesome, but now I find myself ready to curl up with a blanket by the fireplace and drink some hot chocolate, put on some Christmas records and light a Christmas tree candle….

ok, maybe I do tend to skip from fall to Christmas a little to quickly! (This drives my sister nuts!)

But whether we are discussing the wonderful season of fall, or you are like me and dreaming of sugar plums and candy canes, either way we have to agree, cold whether just begs for cozy! I don’t know about you, but I find that fires in general just offer a cozy feeling. We didn’t even have a fireplace at our old home,  but I would love the look of them, so I would put the wood fired log “movie” on from Netflix (it turns your tv into a warm looking fireplace in seconds) just looking at the fire made me feel warm inside.

While I love fireplaces so much, as a designer I actually tend to love the cabinetry around the fireplace even more! I personally love decorating the open shelving in my own fireplace surround cabinetry at home, but I also love working with my clients to design their perfect set up and configuration of cabinetry for their fireplaces, or tv units. While our main source of business is kitchens and vanities, we have done pretty many fireplace surrounds and entertainment units too. I thought, what more fitting for this cool weather than to share some of the few pictures I’ve been able to get of some of the fireplace surrounds and entertainment units we’ve done.
