A two story great room was a must for me. I love how grand and spacious it feels. We decided to keep the fireplace simple to save some money during our build process. Instead of stone, we added millwork and saved a ton. I jazzed up my living room by painting the mantle and coffered the ceiling black. Doing these updates brought out just the right amount of contrast and personality! I figured we can change it up in a couple years, but for now, I love it! Sofa, couch, chandelier
