Cozy Library Den

Elizabeth Romero shares a roomy house with her son Jonah and their dog Max. So far she has remodeled Jonah's room and the kitchen. Now she takes on the outdated 1970s family room and converts it into a cozy den with a library vibe. The project involves removing part of the brick fireplace, adding slate to the hearth, and installing a new mantel. Faux river rocks in the fireplace add to a warm, rustic feel. Romero and friends also build an entertainment center to hold the large television. New carpet and some stain for the wood paneling complete the project.
