How fun! Your inspiration is great. After all, who is a better host than Bilbo Baggins? Who has a more comfortable life? Only Mr. Badger from The Wind and the Willows comes close, IMO. I'm really loving this inspiration. Genius!

I was thinking you'd need a stone surround, not granite (too cold, hard, modern) until I saw this one. Does that at least come close to your vision? Or is it too angular and Victorian?

Best wishes for this project. I can't wait to see what it looks like! You are going to be posting pics, right?
