Need to make the stove look good too

[Millsk]

So this is the second year with the stove, It works fantastic. Last year we had it installed and didn't think much about how it looked, just wanted to keep warm.

So this year I want to make it look nice. I'm thinking about a mantel shelf above it with a nice flat screen above that, of course SWMBO isnt a huge fan so I'm trying to think of something half way..sneak my TV in there later

Tile behind, up the wall, with a shelf above that. So I'm not much of a handyman. How do you guys finish the tile edges? Cap it with wood trim?

Also what have you guys done to hid the cords? I'll wire the thermostat so i can hang it ont he eldge of the mantel but the power cords don't look so good..

Would love to hear your suggestions! I'm gonna go surf installation pictures now

If your looking to tile the wall most tiles have a matching bullnose. The edges are rounded over and finished. This will give a finished look. Wood trim would work also. The wires are another story. And Quick, get a surge protector for that stove before the hearth police get you.

Ok, you, pull over.

I see you are driving an unprotected pellet burner. Sorry, but I have to write you a ticket, it is a very serious crime. The judge is apt to put you away for a very long time where there are no pellet stoves fires to enjoy your cup of coffee in front up while warming the old stiff arthritic joints in the morning.
