Suggestions for an all ELECTRIC range as a focal point..
Comments (10)Fori- Thanks for the link. I like the idea of putting an induction hob in a subtle location. I actually considered using a smooth electric or induction in a "Hutch style" setup with a wall oven in the pantry or underneath the cooktop with pocket doors like those made by yestertec. DH really would prefer more of a focal point. Igloo- I'll be interested to hear how you like your Legacy. I know it for a future rental, but if I remember correctly you'll be living there temporarily. Which handles did you order? I like both options, DH doesn't like the spiral. We'll probably end up with the Legacy, but I'm am still so drawn to the cast iron of the 6-4 and the traditional AGA.

Comments (21)I got a Dimplex Revillusion and love it. My condos do not have gas, so the choices are limited. Although it is a wood burning fireplace, I do not want to fool with wood and ashes. The Revillusion satisfies my need for something that looks like a fire. I can use it year round too! It has LED lights projected onto a Plexiglas shield. You can sometimes see reflections on the Plexiglas if there's a lot of light in the room, but most of the time (especially at night), it is invisible. For sound effects you can download a fireplace sound effects app on an old cell phone and put it in the fireplace. Then you can buy candles or wax melts that smell like a campfire. It's just like the real thing. Hahahaha! Here's a video of the logs at night with the glass doors open and the mesh curtain closed. I'm scrolling through the different lighting options. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR8mKa5CMLI...See MoreShelves or Cabinets on each side of Electric Fireplace?!
Comments (4)I guess I am trying to find input on IF that looks proper, or maybe if there is a better idea even? I think my idea is good (because I thought of it, haha) but I don't know about materials flowing. The fireplace has a black 2" metal lip all around it for a border. The doors would need to be plywood and not drywall because of hinges and rigidity....thus they would need stained or painted (a design choice I am so uneducated on) and then if the doors should be as shown or more like a full overlay style, etc. I'm also open to photos for ideas!...See MoreIdeas on how to decorate area next to fireplace
Comments (7)In top search box I put "shelves on either side of fireplace in photos" and a lot of ideas come up. One thing I would like to say (based on personal experience): If you are a neat freak, go with the open shelving. If not, go with shelving that has doors. Open shelving tends to be decorative and closed shelving tends to be a bit more practical, in my opinion. https://www.houzz.com/photos/query/shelves-on-either-side-of-fireplace/nqrwns...See MoreRelated Professionals
