Massachusetts Modern goes Modore x 3

As you look at the three fireplaces below you may have a feeling of “déjà vu all over again.”    No that’s not the same fireplace playing tricks on your eyes — although their multi-toned grey stone surrounds are rather mesmerizing.

That stone was essential to the design of this modern Massachusetts home.  It shows up again and again and roots the large interior spaces with a calming continuity that can’t help but bring a sense of comfort as you transverse the home.  That signature stone had to travel a ways to find its final resting place.  The homeowner hand choose this specific stone from two sister quarries in Northern Europe.  The surrounds all come from one quarry while the kitchen floor comes from another, which has similar tones, but a completely different mineral vein pattern.

Custom shelving is almost sculptural in its own right

Clean modern lines can be paired with warmer textures like this textile throw accentuating a coffee table in the living room
