Work completed
A lower detail that makes the whole unit feel intentional
The work began by covering the hardwood floor and protecting the surrounding area. A custom lower riser was fitted beneath the existing fireplace cabinet to lift the unit. The new section was then painted to match, creating a clean, continuous look from the base through the shelves and center opening.
