Like so many of us, the entire team at The Place loves to see transformations; just like the ones we love to watch on those popular tv make-over shows! They get creative juices flowing and heighten the drive to improve ourselves and our homes. But in addition to seeing transformations, The Place gets to create them.
Local professional, Donna Duchek, of 2d3d Group, photographed a recent fireplace makeover done by The Place. Then, we had the opportunity to speak to the homeowner about the make-over process and their satisfaction with the final product. We hope you enjoy this happy customer's "mini" home makeover story!
Hinckley resident, Christy Bellavia, a resident of Hickley, had The Place work on not one, but two fireplaces in her home. The first was a much-needed update to the wood-burning fireplace in her living room. Christy explains, "It just needed to be updated from its original build to make it more modern and add some pizzazz to the room. It turned out gorgeous."
The second fireplace project that The Place did for Christy was the addition of an electric fireplace to her master bedroom. Christy says that she added the fireplace to create a focal point in the room.
Throughout the process of buying and installing both fireplaces, Christy says that she had an absolutely magnificent experience working with The Place. She says, "There is a lot more to buying a fireplace than I thought. There are so many decisions from what type of heat, how to enclose it and the design of what you’re going to house it in. I came in with design pictures of what I wanted the fireplaces to look like and they helped me make it happen; it all came together just perfectly!"
She continues, "[Both] fireplaces turned out wonderful and are just so nice to look at. They both just really change the appearance of the rooms. We have received many compliments."
At her children’s bedtime, Christy sets the timer on her bedroom fireplace then they all enjoy winding down, in front of the fire, while listening to good-night stories. When the fireplace turns off, the kids know it’s time to head to their own beds for the night!
