The original fireplace is given a facelift with a surround tiled in small chocolate marble tiles, while the threshold is resurfaced with large buttery-maple colored marble tiles. The wood surround of the fireplace is refreshed, as is all the woodwork throughout the space, with a cream colored glossy paint.
