    thank you :)
    would you remove the old piece and build the new one into the wall? or do i need a separate contractor?

    @The SofaWorks, Yes if you did an entirely new build-in solution you would remove the old fireplace. Those retro fireplaces are quite popular right now though! :-) If you email me at kim@ecosmartfire.com I can get you over to a product specialist if you'd like.

    don't get me wrong, i love the look of it !! but furniture placement is a nightmare :( i don't want the tv in front of the window anymore, and i would love to get a larger sectional (since i'm obviously at the source for custom sectionals ;). so unless somebody can come up with a better idea for the tv, i think i'll have to get rid of my cute popular stove :( any tv specialists out there with ideas? the tv has to be on that side of the room, because a spiral staircase to the right, a double door next to the leather chair, and the front entrance door behind the sectional, don't give me the option to place the sectional in a different direction.

    In that case I'd suggest a linear firebox with the tv mounted above it. If you check out our fire design gallery you'll see a few examples. And if you have outside space move that retro stove out there! :-) http://www.ecosmartfire.com/portfolio/Fireplace-Designs/page/1

    I think you should sell the stove and buy something that doesn't take up so much space. As an alternative, Is it possible that the room isn't really big enough for a sectional? Maybe it would be easier to change that than the wood burning stove.
