I also like the built in shelves. That's a great way to incorporate extra storage! <br /><a href="http://www.thomaschimneysweep.com/accessories" rel="nofollow"> http://www.thomaschimneysweep.com/accessories</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379658986950936819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173753018778314954.post-63782315678228977602015-10-27T14:20:24.888-04:002015-10-27T14:20:24.888-04:00I absolutely love this, we just had a 104 year old...I absolutely love this, we just had a 104 year old house restored- wondered if you could tell me more info on the fireplace insert you used- it looks awesome!<br /><br />TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597481038887962566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173753018778314954.post-56016117936797597932015-02-01T11:01:39.407-05:002015-02-01T11:01:39.407-05:00We put in an electric fireplace so it doesn't ...We put in an electric fireplace so it doesn't have any holes or air leaks to the outside but I would imagine if you had a wood burning one that would be true. I would think if you didn't have it on, air would come in through the chimney at least to some degree. With two small kids, we have been very happy with having the electric!

It is a 1x1 inch square glass tiles set on a mesh back to make it 12x12 inches. The box that it came in said "Glass Mosaics" not sure if that is the brand or not. I did find it online just now too!

The shelves on either side are 4 feet tall. We bought the insert from electricfireplacesdirect.com and I'm happy with how realistic it looks. Also we did 12 inches of tile all the way around the fireplace, so it took exactly 10 square feet of tile so it was cheap!

We are in the process of refinishing our hardwoods and I'm trying to get him to install a craftsman-style fireplace just like this. Can I ask how tall your walls are behind the fireplace/bookshelves? Also, how tall is your fireplace mantel? I’m trying to decide whether to go with a traditional pre-made fireplace or build our own and just buy the insert. Thanks!!

The wall color is very warm but for more of a contrast with our white trim, I think a bit darker would have been better. All the paint colors in the house are Sherwin Williams. This living room wall color is called Bagel (SW 6114).
