it's cold out. really cold.
for me (& many urban-dwellers) a fireplace is something of dreams... "i will DEFINITELY have a most grandiose stone fireplace when ibuy a place upstate" Right.
in the meantime, my usually-cool high loft ceilings are making the winter chill sink in. until i found a tiny fireplace that takes the edge off: http://tinyurl.com/dreamytinyfire
not only is this "fireplace" heater is adorable (comes in black, red & orange - i went with black), it produces a nice bit of heat (& has a safety shut-off for those weary of space heaters), is very mobile & plugs into any wall outlet (provided your outlet hasn't already been split between 15). but my favorite part is the visual - the "burning" coals make me FEEL warmer. while i have yet to attempt toasting marshmallows (& i don't think the manufacturer would recommend that), i am loving the added warmth & ambiance from this little guy!
can you feel that!?
turns out i'm not the only one appreciating the new fireplace....
