Cape Cod meets Mill Valley

Great seating area for near fire

I love this, but I'm not sure it's wise... I'd love to have the benches on each side be twin bed sized, to double as guest sleeping space. But, closing off a heat source like that really doesn't work we if you're actually wanting to heat the house. We already have a freestanding soapstone wood stove we want to put in this home. I'll see if I can add a link/picture.
