More Room to Relate
This outdoor room at the Smalls' house in Carlsbad, Calif., is centered on a fireplace that was custom built with a natural flat stone veneer from K.R.C. Rock, a local supplier. The insert is a Fireplace Xtrordinair 864 TRV GreenSmart direct-vent gas fireplace with a fan and a power heat duct. A Samsung 65-inch 3D TV is recessed into the chimney face. The two windows are solid glass to protect the area from the elements. Two Sunpak outdoor heaters and two Hamilton Bay ceiling fans help regulate the temperature. Helping to regulate the mood are 22 Lithonia 3-inch, bronze, recessed lights, separated into six dimmable zones.
