Staying Hot Next To The Fireplace While It's Cold Outside!

Ah the fireplace....one of the oldest sources for heating a space. Well today with modern technology most of us don't heat our home with a fireplace but there is something about seeing a fireplace lit that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Some home boast a traditional fireplace with a mantle that you hang your Christmas stockings on others prefer a more streamline approach. Thus the birth of the modern fireplace! I am lucky to have a fireplace in our home that used to be the traditional wooden mantle but we changed that. To keep you warm during these winter months, imagine yourself sitting in front of one of these warming fires. Enjoy!

 This is how you stay warm in the bathroom! Soak in the tub with a fire going....can't get much better than this!

  Lovely integration of different materials in this interior. Fireplace is the focal point!

  Sleek design makes for a subtle accent but it still stands out in a space!

 Cozy reading chair next to a fire, everyone loves that! Still has the traditional feel but modernized look.

 Real wood burning fireplaces are great. The scent of hickory is sure to make anyone fell at home! Also you can't forget the wood storage, nicely integrated.

 

 This is  my fireplace, before and after and for those who think it cost too much to reface a fireplace it doesn't. We did it for under $800! And the room looks 100 times better!

Welcome the sun with filtered light!

When sunlight peaks through tree branches to create rays of filtered light, I can't help but feel surrounded by absolutely mystifying beauty. However, as we approach midwinter, we don't get to see the sun as often as we'd like or witness streams of sunlight. But don't worry- the sun will come out... next season! So, when spring finally comes, welcome the sun into your home with warm, filtered light. Now is the perfect time for implementing an inundation of flowing streams of light into your home. Enjoy!

 Angled ceiling skylights allow for bright, beautiful light beams to burst in and brighten a bedroom.

 These 'floating' stairs slice the sunlight, creating streams that pour light into an otherwise dismal stair well.

 Filtered light doesn't always have to be fragmented light- the sunlight enters this home through textured, opaque windows.

All about the angles- the thick windowpanes set at drastic angles offers a a unique edge to this modern, earthy dwelling

This is more than just a sofa!

Sofas don't have to be big, bulky, boring objects, let them speak for their self! These are a few sofas I found to be pretty interesting and different. People tend to go for only comfort when purchasing a new sofa, but even though these might not be loose cushions it can still be a comfortable sofa to spend an evening cuddled up watching a movie or watching the football game on the edge of your seat. Which ever you chose remember next time to give your sofa a chance to be interesting and loved by all who get to enjoy it. Enjoy! 

 Perfect spot for a date night at home!

 You can rest your head or your feet whichever way you want!

 Want a chase on your sofa but don't have the room for it? This is perfect for a space challenged room!
