for our bunny.

What does a bunny need a grate for, I might hear you ask?  Well.. unfortunately although he is toilet trained and uses a litter tray, he has these big bunny feet that tend to flick the litter all over the place!  I have read that some bunnys will tolerate a grate over the litter so that it does not get flicked everywhere!

Whilst I was on the webs searching for grates, I came across fire grates, which really do look just like fancy bunny litter box toilet stations! (Although at $220 for the cheapest, I think we will be staying a little more utilitarian at this stage!)   As often happens – I get carried away looking at period architecture and period architectural fittings.  I found some glorious designer grates as well as some antiques ones.  Other people are like me, such as the writer of the Architectural Classics Blog which looks great.  I’ve signed up because it looks right up my alley (or fireplace flue as the case may be!)

One day I would love to actually live in the house I own in the country – it is beautiful and has a stunning victorian fireplace in it.  It’s designed for coal, but we burnt wood in it anyway, and that seemed to work OK except that there wasn’t much room in the fireplace for the wood.  Luckily the chimney was clear because we cound have smoked out the house if we had not been careful!  I miss not having the old house to go to.  We have tenants in it currently and have not been able to stay there for many years now.
