SGR and Nance Design Create Lodge-like Living Atmosphere
(See photos of this project below)
Architectural designer Gary Nance inspired the idea of taking the wood from the ceiling and using it as paneling for the Fireplace area. Gary’s designs included a lot of wood to give this project a lodge-like feel. While working with the clients on redesigning the room, we realized the perfect wood was literally “hanging around.” We carefully removed the tongue and groove material from the ceiling and reinstalled it onto the wall. We then replaced the brick mantel with stone to enhance its cabin feel. We also added a log storage area. This fireplace wall is now a gorgeous focal point for this room.

Winter Carbon Monoxide Safety Tips
Often referred to as the silent killer because you can't see, smell or taste it, CO is the leading cause of accidental poisoning in the U.S. It is a by-product of combustion produced by cars, stoves, water heaters, fireplaces, gas grills and a number of other appliances. The following safety tips will help residents avoid CO and other dangers associated with power outages and changes in seasonal temperatures:

Never run a generator indoors or in a poorly ventilated area, such as a garage or porch, and use the appropriate-size power cords to carry the electric load.

Install one battery-operated CO alarm (or AC-powered alarm with battery backup) on every level of the home and one in each sleeping area.

Inspect and clean any soot and debris, such as bird nests and paper, out of the chimneys, flues and stacks.

Carbon monoxide is difficult to detect without the help of CO alarms. Outward physical symptoms of CO poisoning include headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion.
