I love how the fireplace design will reference the 50s (the house was built in 1950) without being retro. We're basically taking the 50s paneled wood ceiling (or wall) and putting it on the chimney.

And taking the idea of the 50s fieldstone fireplace and using it for the surround.

Can't wait to see this one come together. My client's can't picture it. But I see it perfectly, and it will be fab!
