When we first moved into the cottage the Chimney Sweep (still a thing, who knew?) told us that the very cute little wood-burner wasn't safe to use, and rightly so, because someone used installed plywood to block the flue. He recommended we use this little beauty in the other room, until he could come back to fix the problem.
Isn't it pretty?
This is in the study, after a few days we realized that this chimney was leaking smoke into other rooms of the house. Our big drafty house, dead of winter, yayyy.
The new smoke stack and guard are fitted!
Mid January our Chimney Sweep returned to cut and fit a proper flue and stack for the wood-burner, and we promptly moved our lives into the living room. It stays warmer than much of the cottage because it has a solid floor (no cellar drafts!) and that little wood-stove puts out a lot of heat!
Cheese and wine by the fire is life.

It looks very cozy.
ReplyDeleteIt really is!
DeleteWhat an adorable wood stove. You'll love that dry heat in that damp climate. The brick has so much character too.
