Dan's fireplace wall.
This idea sprang from a recent trip to view a model home in a new development. We saw a built-in fireplace and decided that that's what our small livingroom needed. Within a few days, Dan ripped out the fireplace box and raised it to mid-wall. He finished it with a nice cabinet underneath, multiple decorative wood trims, and a brick wall. The logs are gas, and he wired them to work by wall switch or remote. Voila! Instant fire. The fireplace wall is beautiful and gives us so much more free space.
