We didn't want to burn the floor

Since there are actually laws (if not recommendations) and common sense to dictate that when one has a fireplace, you should protect your wooden floor, we did try to invent something to put under our modern fireplace.

The idea also was to use the space under the fireplace to store the logs. 

We really didn't understand how one could use the fireplace without anything before. Wasn't it dangerous?

Anyway, since the fireplace is in some sort of copper, we went and ask Vinslövs Plåt to make a taylor-made piece of plate, in copper, to have there.

It looks so shiny now!

But the colors are beautiful

Now, we just miss a spark arrestor in cast iron. Not the easiest task on the planet, of course.
