I want about 50-60 pretty tiles, which I'm planning to cover the exposed brickwork with, inside the wooden surround. I'll also make a 'mantle place' tiled enclosure in front and I really need to incorporate some kind of fireguard because it's in the living room, where the young children spend a lot of their time:



Ideally I'd like one of these:



... but they are a bit pricey.

Hmmm. I wonder if we could build one?

Horrendous aren't they?

Amanda, are you the Amanda who asked for my private blog password?

Just very slowly putting 2+2 together... doh! If it was you then of course you can have it! If you still want it... if it was you...

LOL! And there's me thinking I'd horribly offended you. Phew!

Oh wait a minute...

I've still horribly offended someone - now I'm back to not knowing who!

Oh well. ^^
