Sounds IDEAL to me!
I will have to say I’ve never seen a fireplace like yours before. I’ve only seen the traditional looking ones. I posted a picture of my fireplace last Friday if you care to take a peak! lol
I loves me a fire in my fireplace too! I’m fortunate and blessed that we have free gas and our fireplace has gas logs.
Hope you have fun at all of the parties you are attending this weekend!
Angela
Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever been so hungry after reading a blog entry. And calling it a blog entry seems so less-than-what-it-is. Alas, excellent entry. Now for my pizza rolls.
Glad you finally started using the fireplace! Looks great!
