Rooms

Main floor

Hover a room on the plan to see its name; click to jump to that room below. Dotted lines show the existing (pre-reno) floor plan.

Living room — wood fireplace replaced with gas

Retained per permit. Room-specific work is the fireplace and any cedar-wall treatment.

Fireplace — replace wood-burning with gas insert. Surround / cladding matches the kitchen backsplash material (handmade tile / quartz slab / subway / wood paneling — choose backsplash first).

Cedar walls — preserved as wood. TBD whether they get cleaned / refreshed / re-sealed (separate craft, $5–15/sqft).

Lighting — new fixtures + pot lights.

Open — gas fireplace model (direct-vent, BTU, flame style); mantel / hearth detail; lighting layout + outlet placement (driven by furniture layout).

Furniture, decor: see Interior § Living room.
