My next door neighbour is a carpenter and he was showing me a mahogony fire surround he had salvaged from a job he was doing. He was, he said going to sell it on ebay. I thought it looked pretty cool and asked if we could put it up against our fireplace in the front room just to see if it looked ok.
It was ok but smaller than the opening and it didnt quite "go with the open log fire theme" that we have. When the power went out yesterday i decided to light the log burner and moved the surround into the back room and put it by the old fireplace which doubles as the TV cabinet/space.
"Fits like a glove" would be the operative phrase, so I bought it off him and modified the TV table a little so that everything fits.
I spent an hour or so moving the furniture around to our winter mode. This basically means moving the 2 big leather chairs into and around the log burner fireplace and moving the dining table and chairs into the back room part of the house. The kittens look a little confused but i guess they will "pick a chair" once i light the log burner next time!
