The doors were sourced from a demolition yard and are perfect for this room opening onto a rear deck. As part of our service, Construction Queen scours through demolition yards and find the right pieces to fit within the design. The gas fireplace keeps the room warm without the pollution of an open fireplace.

A light and airy dining room featuring a window re-used from another room of the house. Our clients have opted for heavy drapes and pelmets that will keep them warmer in winter.
