I hope you get it figured out. I was stumped for awhile but now I think I've come up with a plan. Good luck, girl!

Ooh, we have a freestanding woodstove similar to that (which I really really love) , and I've really been wanting a mantel for behind it just to ground it. Problem is... it's in a corner, with OFF CENTRE windows on either side, and I'm still trying to find a way to make it work, and what kind of tile/painted brick/mantel would look best. Love your inspiration pictures... they've made me think about it again.

I have never seen the stove + mantle combo before-but your inspiration pictures are super cute! What a great solution for someone not wanting to switch out an existing stove. Can't wait to see your tiles-I am a fellow marble lover. Marble can definitely go with rustic--just look at all the ancient Roman ruins that still have marble!

SQUEAL!

Of course I will send a photo over. It might take a minute or two, though. I'm a bit star struck. ;)

Tile shopping is fun - did it recently for our floor tiles and we're so pleased with our floors now. I'm sure yours will look great - you have a great vision for the basement and seeing it come together bit by bit is fun.

Famous-schmamous! It's just me and my computer over here too, Sarah! :-D I would LOOOOOVE to play around with a photo if you feel like sending one to LaylaPalmer (at) aol (dot) com! Either way, I can't wait to see what y'all come up with. What a fun project to follow along with! :-D

No matter what you choose it will look great! I was relieved to read that you centered the fireplace. I have a hard time with anything off centered lol! (it's not like I'm stopping in for cake or anything to see it in person!) You have great taste and vision I am sure you will make it look adorable. Can't wait to see the progress.

I think you should definitely submit it to Layla's Pick My Presto! Do it! The worst that can happen is she doesn't pick you--BUT I bet this might peak her interest, as it's not something she sees every day! Here's a random reader trying to give you the perfectly polite little nudge to submit!! You can do it!

We have a very similar woodstove, ours is a jotul and I absolutely love it!! Puts off so much heat and I just love having a real fire inside the home. Can't wait to see yours and the finished project!!

oooh can't wait to see!
