Entertaining in Style
A space for entertaining with a dual fireplace as a centerpiece. It is two separate fireplaces combined into one structure. Two rooms are created, one an intimate living space, and the other, a larger open space, just two small steps down. The common brick of the fireplace, seat walls, and piers was painted to match the home and maintain the historic feel of the property. The carved freese under the mantel and the decorative inlay on the chimney are both limestone and mirror designs both inside and outside the home. The capping all around is Indiana limestone, as is the hardscaped floor. The pattern in the flooring is a 45 degree diamond with round cabochon inlay of bluestone. The rounded seat wall is lined with a tardiva hydrangea hedge with judd viburnum, spirea, sargent crabapple, and coralberry throughout. Photo Credit: Linda Oyama Bryan
