Hi Mitch, any chance you can add a photo of it so we can get a better idea of what your gorgeous eighties throwback looks like :)

is it fully brick built or is it faux brick cladding? I.e. Could you pull it off the wall and simply re plaster the chimney breast?

Do you have a fire pit in your garden?

I helped my Dad build a fire pit in his garden, he made wooden seats to sit around the metal fire pit with old stone columns for extra seating (unfortunately you can't see the actual fire-pit as behind the stone bench). Lots of stories and fun are had around it until deep into the night. If you have the space it is a great addition to put in! Shannon

Good luck! Downstairs loos aren't very exciting. I would probably go for farrow and ball Hague blue all over as pictured and then add prints on the walls. My loo is very dark grey with lots of these animal prints. I think they were a fiver from achica and then black frames off of ebay for £2.50 or something.obviously you don't need to go for this style but maybe something a little quirky to add interest. I'd go for mid or dark grey in the bathroom with a lighter or off white wall but it depends on how dark you want to go. Darker can often look more expensive but mid grey with white walls will also look good.

Great project! Have you considered painting or white washing the brick? Could look great!

This link is a great resource to give you guidance about outdoor fire regulations. It's also important to make sure the fire is nowhere near combustible materials and ideally sheltered from strong winds. When in use I'd recommend keeping a bucket of water nearby so you can react quickly if anything flies out. And keep all spare firewood a good distance away!
