My husband as well as I purchased a property that had a lovely old fireplace.
I fell in cherish with the old mantle, as well as I could not understand why anyone would have such a lovely fireplace in such a ratty old house! My husband told me it was the fireplace of the era as well as then he told me the history of the house.
I could imagine the balls that were held back then. I could picture the candles on the large chandeliers over the ballroom, and when I asked him how he knew the history of the house. He told me it was a property that he said he would own one day. His great Grandma once lived here, as well as it was her family home; After buying the house, my great friend and I wanted to put it back to his original splendor. I asked if my great friend and I were going to make the fireplace a laboring fireplace. My buddy and I were looking outside, however my great friend and I could not find a chimney for the fireplace. I thought they may have closed it off, however there was no chimney. My buddy and I got an architect to look at the house, as well as he said my great friend and I were right… They had taken the chimney down, as well as the fireplace was now just for show. I was okay with that as well as said I would put a fireplace insert into the hearth. As long as I could keep the fireplace, I will leave it as is, and once all the replaces were made as well as the property was looking like it did when it was new, my great friend and I planned a party. The only swings my great friend and I made were that there are flicker lights where there were once candles, as well as a fireplace insert in the fireplace.
