Here is the before.

Here is the after.

May be an image of furniture and living room

Which do you prefer, and why?

(The home is in FL, if that influences your ideas).

Wow I honestly don't like either. The first one is too much ornateness, the mirrors are ridiculously huge. The second one too modern for me. So uninviting.

I dont care for either one.

I don't like either one.

I like the before better, love those 'cut glass' windows on either side.

Not my style. Looks like it would be in a high-end restaurant.

I prefer the first, but wouldn't have the mirrors covering the entire length on the sides. Maybe have them from the mantle up with nice built-ins below.

I'd take the before if you removed that ornate trim around the fireplace surround.

If I had to choose the after is the winner. It's very sleek and modern.

Neither of them I am in love with, but I would definitely with some tweaking chosse the 1st one. The 2nd one seems almost non existent to me, do not care for it at all....The 1st one is too ornate for my tastes, but could be tweak'd...I guess for Florida the 1st one is too much, I mean how often would it really even get used?
