Living Spaces
FACING PAGE BOTTOM: In the same home, the big stone fireplace in the living room was one of the main reasons we didn't just knock
everything down and start f rom scratch. Recognizing when a house has good bones, and what can be salvaged or repurposed, is very
important in terms of living environmentally-conscious. I also believe that artwork is more important than most people realize. You
could spend thousands on a countertop, but then hang a $50 print that brings the entire room down. Artwork that's f ramed behind
glass bounces light and sound, so I encourage my clients to incorporate original artwork and support local artists whenever they can.
