Hi everyone!As much as I yearn for the sweet smells of Spring, I will miss lighting the fire and most of you will know how much I love a real wood fire. The whole process of lighting some sticks and watching the flames build before shoving a big log in to warm our Family, dry our clothes and cook our stew makes me smile.
So, I looked through my files and Googled fires and voila!
Perfect Winter warmth.
Having a fire was high on my list of 'must haves' when we bought our home and we were lucky to get 5 of them =0)

Here is our fire right before adding a another log. You may remember this shot as I didn't try to get the clothes airer out of the way or take down my tea towel which was drying. This how our everyday life looks and I just love it.This fireplace is the most favourite in our home. It is way taller than me, wide, puts out tremendous heat (has even melted the candles in our candelabra!!) and cooks a great stew. Our Family seems to be drawn to this fire as our dining table is in front of it as well as the centre island from the kitchen. So while I cook, the boys draw and play games and it is so warming to see the Family like this. I love this feeling.
New England HomesThis one is beautiful and makes a wonderful focal point for the room.
The fireplaces in Tricia's Long Island home were the inspiration behind the makeover of all of the fireplaces in our home. They are perfectly simple and stunning.
from googleAlthough not lit, I couldn't not put this one in. The room is gorgeous, sunny, wing back chairs...
from googleOnce our Spring arrives here in Australia and the fires go out for the year, our fires will be filled with urns of blossom branches, greenery and in the Summer, Hydrangeas like here.
Then I will view our gorgeous fireplaces as display pieces
...looking forward to that.
