Carpets/capped off fireplaces.
Trying to make kids room more enjoyable to be in, so carpeting over the knackered boards. What's the forum wisdom on old fireplaces? I don't think we're realistically going to be ripping the thing out any time soon. There's a hearth which is the same level as the current boards. Then the little nook into the fireplace itself. Where does the carpet typically end? I had presumed carpeting over the hearth because it's just ugly and a trip hazard for a kid with zero spatial awareness. My wife thinks we should carpet into the fireplace too. To me that seems a bit weird. Any votes for either? Or anyone insist we don't even carpet the hearth?
