Folks
I need help! I had decided on a fireplace for our new house and to cut a long story short - I can't use it!!
So, I am now left with a 55 inch wide opening, 57 inch wide opening (yes, these are correct!! and I do mean inches!!). There is a 4 inch mantle in the blockwork at present. Because of the mantle I don't know what to do as a standard fireplace cannot be put in place unless I block up to the ceiling but then the depth of the opening is also huge!!
Anyone got any ideas on what I could do - I would like a nice marble Victorian fireplace but even if I get a fireplace big enough - the opening is too big????
So now my fab 40 ft sitting room is going to be a disaster - any ideas welcome!!
Thanks
Coppeen!
