9. Party-Ready MakeoverAfter decades of living in her coastal cottage near Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver, Canada, a gracious host in her 70s decided it was time to update her living room and make it more party-ready for gatherings with friends. The existing fireplace was traditional, with a huge hearth and mantel and recessed nooks on either side. Designer Lauren Webb redesigned the fireplace area, making everything flush and streamlined, with the TV recessed above the firebox and two doors on either side for storage. On the side of the fireplace wall is a built-in wine cabinet that gives the homeowner easy access to bottles when hosting.
