The fireplace

This was installed 11 years ago and John got his oomph into gear and cleaned the tiles, cleaned the window and blacked the fireplace! I watched!
Thankful for:
Its his decision whether to light the fire and so far it hasn't happened.

Ha ha ... it looks gorgeous! No wonder he doesn't want to light it, he'll just have to clean it again. :-)

[Delwyn Barnett]

That looks like new. What a good job he has done!!

[Maggiemae]

@jamibann exactly! We may have to freeze in the winter!

[Maggiemae]

@dkbarnett Did you see the kindling that he cut and put into this basket... that once I used for a garden photo!

[Wylie]

Very clean and tidy!

[haskar]

It's hard work, but the effect is stunning

[Joan Robillard]

You look prepared

[Beryl Lloyd]

So neat and tidy - no wonder he doesn't want to light it !!

[Maggiemae]

I think that's what its all about, @joansmor Joan - one needs to have the future in control!

[Maggiemae]

It will have to be a photo to remember , Beryl! Now I'll have to keep it looking like this - or maybe not! @beryl

[Maggiemae]

@jamibann Thats what happens if you get the scene so perfect - you have to keep it like that - cushions and all! Forget that, says, me!

What a beautiful fireplace, he did a great job! I love a wood burning fire, it may get cold enough this winter to use it.

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely.....enjoy whether lit or not!!

[Babs]

He has done a good job. I love our woodburner fire but haven't had to light it yet. No doubt it will start to get cool soon though.

After going to all that much trouble to make it look so nice I would be hesitant to start a fire in it too. That would just get it dirty again and so quickly. Good for John to do all that hard work.

Very cozy!

[gloria jones]

A nice source of heat.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Ha, looks nice and clean. Coincidentally, my shot is of my wood stove. Not even remotely as clean as yours!:)

[Bill]

Adds a bit of character to a room.

[Pat Knowles]

Once you start lighting the stove it becomes a daily ritual….lots more dust too so you need to be sure you need it in….we are lighting ours every night but after this spell of cold weather is over might stop.

Looks cozy

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Yes, that dust is a curse- its everywhere! But it also comes from the carpet too!
