fireplace


I am sharing our fireplace after finding a great British blog 'posy' with similar interests.

Actually this was another project, there was a 90s hole in the wall jobbie ( a feature noted on the house details no less!) I remember asking the estate agent 'whats going on with the fireplace? Or lack of.
This fireplace was found in a totally distressed state at a reclaimers. It spoke to me, I've never had a non-living object do that before, but this one did. After many hours of gluing and sanding I finally had something that I was proud of. Shes not a grand lady but she has an honest handbuilt quality which speaks volumes to me, I prefer to be surrounded by soulful pieces and of course its recycling again!

Hi Clare!
Your fireplace and mirror is lovely and it means so much more when you have lovingly rescued and restored it.
