Woodburners

Now that the fireplace had been opened up in the lounge and the floor in the kitchen/diner has almost cured, it's time to book in the installation of the woodburners...

We had a chimney sweep visit to clear the chimney in the lounge - I don't think it had been done for years, but they were in and out in no time at all. We had sourced some reclaimed quarry tiles to fit in the hearth and secured these ready for the burner:

A day of installing and the first burner was in:

For the dining room, we had been advised that we could continue the reclaimed timber wall the full length, so I reconfigured the timbers:

and made it good to fit the back wall:

We then laid a reclaimed flagstone (from the old kitchen floor):

And after a couple of days installing this was burner number 2:

There were a few more technicalities with this one, as their was no chimney and the flue needed boxing in the room above (the bathroom). But they both work great and we are very happy with the colour Welsh Slate Blue. It works brilliantly with the reclaimed tiles in the lounge and the picks of blue in the reclaimed timbers - it's like they were made for the space!
