Hi, I’ve just bought one of those "modern" black glass wall mounted electric fires. It is a compromise with my husband and we thought if we went for this one, it would look very nice and as it sits on the wall it does away with the need for the whole fireplace surround/mantlepiece. [...]

Remodeling stone fireplace?

We moved into a townhome with one of those 80’s style cobblestone fireplaces. The fireplace is in a corner next to the stairs and the stone surround goes from floor to ceiling. It looks very out of date with our modern furniture. I would like to remodel it but we have a [...]

Asian writing needs translation…Please?
August 13th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Victorian Fireplaces

Can anyone translate for me? Thanks and Happy New Year.
