New Fireplace

So you may remember this picture... or something like this picture.


As you can see we have a pretty great mantel/fireplace set up. But we were worried about the fact that the fireplace didn't have doors, (Stewie thought the fireplace was a dog bed) and that you could see some metal pieces, see below.

See the metal piece at the top and you can also see the top of the brick :(
Well we went to a couple fireplace stores to look for ways to fix the problems...... well we find out that the fireplace box has been covered by rock so the doors for the model won't fit, so we would have to have special custom doors made.
We also didn't like the idea of a vent free unit so we ended up getting a whole new one :) and yes that will require ripping the whole stone fireplace down!! It will be totally worth it, cause look at this beauty of a fireplace that we are having installed

This has a glass panel, so no need for doors, and it has a vent to the outside.
The fireplace will now be more of a focal point. I will keep you updated as the installation actually happens!
