I've been looking for a suitable fireplace but they are all too modern or grand for my shabby little house so it is a DIY job
Some cardboard, bricks and plenty of the polyfilla/PVC render later and there is a fireplace!
Range temporarily in place. I've started to attach the fireplace but I need the polyfilla to set hard before I can fill in the gap between the chimney breast and the ceiling. I also need to add the wood trim but the floor needs to go down first.
Still looking a bit messy at the moment but the overall look I want is there. I was wondering whether to put a second fireplace in the other downstairs room but I don't think my witchy owner could afford to have a second fire, let alone ones upstairs so for now that is it.
Finally my finger sort of slipped when I saw this! And very nice it will look too!
