Forrest Estate There's a comforting family feel about the tasting room. A perfectly constructed open fire roared as we heard stories behind the architecture and design from Beth Forrest. The style of this fire is reflective of the surrounding climate and ranges, bringing the outdoors in. Earthy tones blend seamlessly with the 'kiwi' industrial chic style of the tasting room complete with gorgeous leather chairs. The curve of the mantel and surround mimics the stone wall at the front entrance, surrounding the cellar door and winery. Avril’s thoughts: CLASS OF 2018 Another example of a local stone fireplace in a varying design with addition of a chunky wooden mantelpiece. Stone can be sourced locally, but the stone-laying is an art and therefore best left to professionals. Alternatively, you can buy in pre-cut schist sheets that are produced in uniform sizes to clad the fireplace. The vintage deco armchairs, table and cow hide placed in front of the roaring fire suit the situation perfectly.

Due to being made to client’s requirements, this look could be adapted for an internal room situation and reduced in size. The rustic look could be softened with furnishings.

Fit both up- and down-lights over the fireplace frontages to showcase the wonderful products and craftsmanship that each fireplace is made of. To create a cozy ambient light, put these lights on an individual switch that is dimmable and turn all other lighting off. Place large standard lamps either side of the fireplace or on side tables to also create a soft restful light. Now accepting Q-Card FACE A FACE Winter visitors to the iconic coastal venue, The Sto
