In the family room of Beth and Chris Calitri’s home, what was once a flat wall is now graced by a gas-fueled ribbon fireplace flanked by cantilevered shelves, creating a new focal point for the space.
Beth likes the look of numerous light sources in a room, so she had lights built into the shelves. The textured wallpaper above the fireplace and the cerused finish on the shelves reflect her casual, elegant style. Beth loves cerused wood, known in England as limed oak, and appreciated that it gave them another opportunity to pay homage to the home’s original craftsmanship.
