Only heating source for our house have been wood stove and some mornings we don't feel like starting a fire even if it is chilly, so we bought electric fire place. As our house is Scandinavian country romantic style, I wanted to make modern fireplace a bit more rustic.
We are missing some beams and moldings, so it looks a bit "naked" now.
