Hey all, I'm getting ready to install hardwood flooring in a condo. The entrance way and area around the three sided fireplace is tile and I was considering framing this with the wood flooring I'll be installing. The problem is that the fireplace is, how would you say, multi sided? e.g., not just 3 straight sides:(quick example I did in mspaint)

so I'm not quite sure how to go about doing it with this.

Also, since there will be another frame around the entrance way tile, how do I go about making sure that I'm not going to have to trim one run of flooring in the middle of the room?

thanks much
