Masonry heater acting as partial wall between living room and kitchen. Has bench and shelves. See through firebox. Bake oven on opposite side facing kitchen would be nice.
Soapstone slab (3" thick) on top of masonry heater oven. A slab like this could be used on the oven/kitchen side of a masonry heater to keep foot warm when cooking. Deer Hill Masonry (Stephen Bushway).
Southbay Quartzite facing stone on masonry heater. Marble cap stones to keep the mass light feeling. An L-shape might decrease the massive appearance also. Deer Hill Masonry (Stephen Bushway).
