In this shot you see the fireplace which is exposed from the family room side. This fireplace opens into the family room which is where we spend most of our time. You can see that it leads to the formal living room, which also takes you to the Master Bedroom. We hung our family picture over the fireplace, and since this is a gas burning fireplace, there shouldn't be a problem of ash and soot getting on the picture. The brick on the fireplace is the same as the brick on the exterior of the house. Notice the door with the blinds, it leads to the back porch.
