This is the area in the apartment where there used to be a fireplace. Unfortunately the fireplace had no chimney and was totally fake despite being made of real brick and fire brick. There was nothing but an outlet at the back to plug in one of those rotating faux fire numbers. We thought it pretty silly and decided the old floors didn't need an extra 1000 lbs of masonry on them. After Barry bashed out the old brick, we scrubbed and wire brushed the surface of the wall and the result is quite lovely. The bricks themselves are being salvaged by our friend Tanja for a walk way up to her front door.
