Fireplace with hearth and custom banquette

This venetian plaster fireplace surround, with custom soapstone hearth, custom mahogany mantle, custom painted banquette and new custom wood windows were all designed by OXB Studios. Photography by Christine Davis. The trestle table, antique copper accents, pendant lights, and Arts and Crafts-era inspired paintings all beckon the family to cozy meals by the fire. The built-in speakers and recessed accent lighting are barely noticeable. The chunky hearth has convenient storage for firewood.
