door behind stove

8 years ago

Hi. Beautiful kitchen. Just curious. What is in the space behind the stove/oven? Pantry? Bath? I see a door and am curious. Thanks so much!

Thank you for your inquiry. The door leads to a well-stocked pantry for additional storage options and to keep the kitchen clutter-free.

The log burner is in the heart of our home, in a open plan living / dining / cooking space, the warmth reflects on the floorboards and i can drag a chair in front of it to curl up and cosy. I would love to ask any advice on the best type of slow burning logs to buy?

Enamel is easy to clean but if it gets damaged (eg by overfiring the stove or chipping a corner), its appearance will be permanently spoiled. Stoves with a sprayed finish are trickier to keep clean but they can at least be resprayed every now and again to renew the appearance.

Hi Jenny, I think i'm there with the description. The new windows and doors are going on the left, correct? I can see in the back ground the slanted ceiling. However, i'm still confused with the T.V comment, as you say you don't want it facing the windows and that's what it currently does. There is also a radiator on the far wall under a window, is that to remain or be re-sited? If you replace the long wall with windows and doors, you would need to say where they are exactly and how wide. The radiator could do with be re-sited and in my opinion maybe get rid of the window on the far wall. If you don't get rid of the window you are limiting yourself greatly with the placement of furniture. Here's a few scenarios:- keeping the window and the radiator:- Removing the window and re-siting the radiator to the other end of the room - log burner on left in tall corner:- Removing the window - log burner on the right - tv facing in to the room away from the window:- Log burner not in either corner - window removed - fireplace built for log burner with alcoves allowing storage and T.V Corner placement:- This would probably allow more seating - possibly a 3 and a 2 seater sofa. Radiator re-sited to the far end adjacent to the door.

Plaster or Tile behind Wood Burning Stove?
Q

Ah, a dilemma indeed! As Daisy indicates, if the woodburner is properly installed and door seals are good, you shouldn't really have too much soot. That said, several years of feeding the stove and clearing ash will see a build up of related dust etc, so a tiled surface may be preferable if you wish to have a pristine surface. Personally, though, I like a bit of build up from burners & open fires - I think it adds to the character and emphasizes the "natural" aspects of the burning process, so I like plastered, whitewashed (but sooty!) stone and brick surfaces. Guess it is down to the look/feel you want to achieve! Caldicot Kitchens
