Fire!

Yes, fire, but a good kind.... After three winters in our house, we decided it was finally time to buy some gas logs and get our fireplace working. Jeff hooked everything up today and got it going.

Me, posing by the fire after a long day of shopping. :-)


Full view of the fire. The mantle is the only natural wood besides our stair case that we did not paint white. If we painted it, would probably have to re-tile too and I just wasn't up for that!


A grasshopper on the hearth is supposed to bring good luck to the home. =-)


So, maybe the fire will help me be more optimistic about the upcoming winter. Those of you who know me, know I despise the winter and it gets worse each year! I'm going to try to look at the positives of the winter....and a nice cozy fire is positive #1! =-)
