I have an elevation drawing of the fireplace we are planning. I will try and post it up (not sure how just yet). BLOG: thehousewebuilt2010.blogspot.com (And are still building!) Re: Built In Wood Fires 12Sep 21, 2011 3:00 pm A nice victorian fire place would look great - the Victorian era was the golden age for fireplaces. I'm sure googling "victorian fireplace" for images should give you hundreds of choices.... Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them. Re: Built In Wood Fires 13Sep 22, 2011 8:45 am While I like "victorian fireplaces" in the right era house, for newer styles they don't always look the best. There are some very nice modern fireplaces on the market now. Have a look here on the Jetmaster site for both the Jetmaster and Heatn'Glo range http://www.jetmaster.com.au/ Stewie Re: Built In Wood Fires 14Sep 22, 2011 9:56 am Yeah I agree Stewie, Victorian fireplaces look nice in the right house, but we are looking for a modern looking built in woodier. I am having trouble uploading the drawing I have of our fireplace, sorry. BLOG: thehousewebuilt2010.blogspot.com (And are still building!) Re: Built In Wood Fires 15Sep 23, 2011 9:46 am Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Here is the plan of our wood fire place. We are going with option one. Around the side on the left will be an opening to store some wood (without it looking untidy from the front). The fire place is going where the flat ceiling meets the raked ceiling, which is why we have decided to expose the flue. We are still undecided on what to cover the fireplace in. Stacked stone? But then what do we cover the top in? I am leaning towards some fantastic tiles I saw but I can't picture it?? Should we just paint it and put a stone bench top on top or something. The fire place is the feature you see as you walk into our kitchen living areas, so i want to get it right! Keen to know peoples thoughts on the design and coverings Thanks Danni BLOG: thehousewebuilt2010.blogspot.com (And are still building!)

Re: Built In Wood Fires 17Jan 28, 2014 10:20 am Hi, We are about to buy the Masport I9000 and wanted to hear some feedback from people who have already purchased it. I went online to look up the reviews and could only find one which was very negative Re: Built In Wood Fires 19Jan 28, 2014 12:47 pm @ DanniB Go to your photo on imageshack then click on the "Embed this image " tag the click on the "Forum" box , highlight the line, copy and paste it in your message here.
