Beautiful!
The copper gold is tres elegante!
Just sublime!
Do any of the fireplaces work? It would be toasty to have them working, but maybe you could set candles behind the screen
Hi, Jenine!
I have eight fireplaces, and three towering chimneys.
I would not trust any of the flues.
In the Round Bedroom, which will be my office, I plan to install a gas flue-less insert so I can enjoy some heat and flickering flames during the chilly months. I may add same to dining room fp.
Beautiful, that grate is a work of art. The copper gold is perfect.
Wouldn’t the correct title be “Old and Improved”?
Jokes aside, looks wonderful.
Your hard work has payed off gorgeously!
