So fireplaces and kids are a no-no, my latest rented property has this ugly thing on the out sticking chimney breast wall of the living room:
Before anyone jumps in, this thing has been decommissioned and the landlord has no intention of fixing it/replacing it, so its unused and untouched.
How am I best covering this to make sure that the kid doesn't touch it?
I did consider something like this: http://ift.tt/1PK7wVP as a wooden structure, just a surround thats attached to the wall around it with a chalkboard panel in the middle. It could also double up as a TV stand as the kid is obsessed with touching and pulling down the telly too.
I also considered creating an entirely fake mantel piece structure (like this: http://ift.tt/22V78AI ) to cover it. But given the width of the wall section, it'd look a bit silly.
but I'm just not convinced. Has anyone out there have any more eye pleasing ideas for this?
It sticks out 8 inches from the wall and is roughly 2ft tall. The skirting board mouldings I don't really want to remove or damage the wallpaper in any way (I'm sure I can be forgotten for some small holes around it). The raised platform it sits on, I'm intending to cover in some carpet to stop the little blight from falling on/catching himself on etc.
Your thoughts please :)
