these look very similar to the tile I want to replace except mine are large 16x16 tiles. I would just leave it because it actually looks pretty decent but a couple are broken and no longer attached. Your stove looks brand new..
looks great, now go knit me a hat
gas Jotul heater.
those 100 year + barn beams will do that. more than likely white oak. looks great. and if you run out of firewood you can burn it.Ours is still in progress. The insert was installed 2 weeks ago...
I'm still working on matching paint for the grill above the insert, and the mantle and side trim. The beam I bought is to checked and its already almost split itself in half, so I need to re-work that.
The surround and hearth are polished concrete. The previous homeowner covered up the original brick with black granite tiles that looked like crap. I spent about 1 day trying to bring back the brick before I gave up and called a concrete countertop company.
Looks good. I especially like the log storage area top the left. They work. While the fire burns, the next batch of logs (often snow covered) dries out. Occasionally, Minnesota gets some snow--like today, even though the weather forecasters never want to estimate how much. I'm supposed to get about a foot of powder and practically no melting all week.
Thank you. My dad had the idea when he built the place. My grandpa did the mantle.
