Faced with the installation of a new stove, I have chipped away tiles (a bit remaining) and am at a crossroads as some plaster has come off in the process.
Should I:
1) Chip away all the plaster so that the wall behind has the brick fully exposed?
2) Only chip away the remaining tiles and apply new plaster/skimming over the wall where the brick is exposed to achieve a flat surface again?
And how can I best create a neat edge against the wallpaper regardless of which option I choose?

I would expose the brick and in the corners put either corner moldings in wood in the same color as the wall or white, or you can install gypsum exterior corner moldings that you plaster in and then paint with wall paint.
There will be some fine-tuning with a sander to get a nice corner, but it should be good.
