help! I have a wood stove in my living room- which we need to keep because we have lost power (and heat) many times during winter storms. Looking at that black stove pipe makes me think of making some possum pie - ack!!
it has to tie into the chimney on the left. Has to be fireproof. Any ideas?

Need help in designing a kitchen which is in front of house
Comments (27)Thank you for all your comments. The alcove with the lamp is 3'10" h x 3'2" w x 18" deep. The width of wall between door hinges and corner of wall is nearly 2 feet. Actually 60cms. I don't think I will be allowed a range oven in the fireplace recess. People like to put their Aga in such a place and it is practical but I do like my oven and it is very efficient even though I have to get my son sometimes to sort out the technology. It is quite new. I had thought of having the hob across the corner of my "L" shaped layout with an decent extractor fan above which could access through the ceiling to a roof space. One of many roof spaces in my house. However, I have seen a lovely corner pantry in one of the Houzz photos which I am very taken with. It is somewhere I can hang or store saucepans, keep tins of things which I can see easily (i.e.keep a check on storage dates!) and don't get lost in the back of cupboards. The hob would have to go to the left of that. A tall fridge freezer could go to the right. The extractor could still access through the ceiling as it would do a right turn and go up from inside the pantry. Don't know how this corner pantry would look though!? On that fireplace wall the fireplace and mantle will, I'm sorry, have to stay. It needs renovating but that's it. Bytheway, the pantry I describe could have glass in the doors which would lighten the whole thing up and have interesting lighting. A fridge/freezer is a good idea because at the moment I have to make quite a trek to my "back kitchen" where I keep two freezers (full) and it would be handy to have the odd loaf of bread, ice cream, chips and peas nearby. I keep all veg in the back kitchen as well as it is cooler. I do like the light from the windows falling on the area where the sink and draining board now is. Dishwasher is near there. Then it is shady in the corner to the right of the oven where I boil water, store coffee pots, keep tea etc. in cupboard above. Cups, plates above sink. It is all a good working layout. Tins of stuff like tomatoes etc. are in the cupboard under the alcove work top. I'd like to get rid of all that. If I did cause a disturbance and dig out the rest of the stone I could have a good cupboard!! It would take a lot of working on my husband for him to agree to that. But, who knows. I could try. Everything would be easier to get at. Then a hob across the corner. I want to get rid of the need for those trays that angle around and do their best to utilise the corner. I got rid of my last lot as can be seen next to my fridge. I saw a way of doing that by putting a cupboard across the corner and carrying on either side with a work top. The fireplace wall needs sorting out I agree. The trouble is that the glass door opens against that wall which is correct. As I mention above there is 2' of wall behind where the door opens. Shifting the door would cause problems in the adjoining room as there is a long radiator fixed on the wall and would not look right in that room. Not really room for window seats. Window on left has a radiator and worktop or oven fits into wall beside the window. Many thanks for your plan. I will give it all some thought when I make more decisions....See MoreHands up if you have a wood-burning stove!
Comments (64)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?...See MoreWood burner going in....this - with bench, chimney wall size help??
Comments (2)That stove can be placed against a flat wall with pipe open so as long as your chimney breast can take the stove pipe I personally think it will be fine. I don’t think it will look wrong if the bench is deeper and if your room is normal sized it will probably be better??...See MoreIdeas for how to hide sewage treatment system covers
Comments (5)You have a good sized garden. I would be tempted to divide the garden into large rooms and create intrigue and a journey. For this I would place a screen across the garden from the left to the middle with planting in front like you have suggested. This would also help hide the shed and greenhouse, then repeat further up from the opposite side. A nice winding path up and across the garden with with either lawns or mixed borders and paths in each room. A nice slatted screen would work....See Morerevss

10 years agoLove all the comments- thanks for the ideas. Can't move stove to the front it would be in the middle of the room.
Those metal screens are gorgeous- look pricey though!
