Tuesday night we had the fireplace man ’round*. We thought we’d replace the old over-painted wooden mantles with stone ones if our budget allowed.
The Fireplace man scratched the surface of the three fireplaces to ascertain what we’d be taking out: wood, rotten wood or some kind of 1950s stone / tile.
And lo, we scratched, and up came perfect grey carrara marble. We have three marble fireplaces.
I nearly fainted.
*Meant to be agreeing what wood burning stove to get - we picked this one, the F40.
