I've booked to have an eco-stove fitted in September. The cast iron fireplace will be taken out, the void will be rendered smooth and new tiles laid, before the stove is installed. I still need to choose the tiles (probably plain black) and the stove. My question is, what should I do about the white wooden border around the current tiles ? It covers the gap between the laminate floor and the tiles. One option would be to paint it black to match the new tiles. But could it also be replaced with something less prominent? What do people usually use?
Also, the cast iron fireplace in the picture will be taken out. Presumably it has resale value, but it's difficult to tell how much because all the fireplaces on Ebay are different, and some go for much more than others. So i'd be interested in well informed opinions on what I should expect to get for it, if anything.
