Fire Good!

Our house has definitely evolved over the years.  Our fireplace is one feature that has had many incarnations.  We started off with horrific blue bathroom tiles as a hearth.

We replaced the blue tile with a nice natural stone.  Next, we got a wild hair to strip the fireplace and stain it......a few years later it would go back to white.

It's latest facelift is the most exciting.  Brian got a gas insert installed!  It is wonderful.  We should have done it years ago.  I sat in front of it last night just staring at the flame and feeling the warmth.  I could have slept right there on the hearth.

The kids love it too.  While I was at work, anxious to come home and see the new flames, Brian sent me a pic of the kids cozied up already enjoying it.  Another job well done, Brian.  Thank you.  I love it!
