While browsing Pinterest for interesting kitchen design ideas, we came across this photo: a kitchen stove set into what looks like a chimney opening. How unusual!

DANG. Gorgeous.
This is a dream. Holy smokes.
It's not really that unusual. In Australia loads of older houses where build pre-electricity with a stove such as an Aga, set in a chimney in the kitchen.
However, I've never seen a reno retaining the chimney done that well; most people rip the chimney out.
My friends in Pittsburgh are doing this right now in their rowhome kitchen, with exposed brick. Really earthy and homey! It's going to be fantastic!
