After much discussion we decided to out our open fire (which was here when we bought the house). Although it was lovely to look at, it didn't do much to heat our freezing cold north-facing lounge.

 

 

So this week we've had our new woodburning stove fitted. The surround is a reclaimed cast iron one, which has been stripped and repainted. The hearth is honed granite and the stove is a Franco Belge Belmont (our lounge is so small that the range is limited). We're really pleased with it. The room is so cosy now. Just need to get the chimney breast redecorated and put some more of my paraphernalia back, and we're done.

Looks lovely!! I need to dig the camers out and take some photos of ours which was fitted just before Christmas.

That looks fantastic! Your old fireplace looked lovely - must have been hard to get the same look, but you have achieved it. I love all your paraphernalia as well!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That looks really lovely .

[Olly]

ooh congratulations! you will love it - that looks a similar size to my Charnwood, as you say the range is limited if you're fitting it in an existing fireplace. You've done a great job of 'integrating' it into the room.

 

I'm ashamed to say that I had my stove fitted in November, and I still haven't redecorated around it ...

that looks brilliant, and I am sure you will get loads of pleasure (and warmth !) from your new woodburner.

[chelsea]

gorgeous!

 

Have serious of anyone who has an open fire or logburner!

[..lay a little egg for me]

Looks almost exactly like ours! (the woodburner not the surround...our surround is much less impressive!).

[Chickvic]

Looks great, am very

That looks really nice, I feel all toasty and warm just looking at a picture of it .

[Redwing]

That looks ace! lucky you We have an open fire which is lovely but has a very naff pink/brown tiled 1930's surround

Finally got the chimney breast papered (William Morris "Daisy" - I'm a huge Arts & Crafts fan) and all my paraphernalia back in place. I am so pleased with the finished result. It looks very 19th Century which is the look I'm going for.

 

 

Just need a really lovely rustic log basket to complete the picture.

[Olly]

That looks so nice - and as if it's always been there!

 

I love William Morris designs, I've got a WM bedspread and my kitchen is painted 'Morris Blue' although that's a coincidence really as the previous owners chose the colour. I like that wallpaper. Can I politely (or rudely!) enquire where you got it, and was it expensive?

[chelsea]
