Light My Fire







It's chilly here this morning (our first autumn morning under 0c) - time to start thinking about lovely winter evenings in front of the fire.

  6. I still can't believe we removed our fireplace (although the chimney still exists). The decision was made long before we had a vision of how we could renovate and extend. I hope to put another in eventually, they are so lovely. Rachaelxx

  16. This is so funny to read because here in The Netherlands (Europe) spring has just started and I can't wait for a nice warm summer. We had lots and lots of snow and really cold weather. So enjoy your fire but I am going outside :-)

    Have a great day, greetings from Claudia B.

  21. MOTH the pyromanic that he is, set our first one of the year going on Sunday night. And as it's been 1-2oC. each night since, the flames have been roaring! Hope you & all your boys are toasty warm in front of yours Leigh.

  22. Love an outdoor fire. Chilly here but it's finally getting warmer. Though the evenings will be chilly enough to use a fire for at least a few more weeks. Love this! Marija

  23. Oh yes, this is exactly how I feel.. Sydney has been so cold in the last week and I am wearing the most unflattering layers to bed to keep warm. :)

    Hope you are well. Have missed hearing from you.

  24. Love that second photo, with the zebra ottomans! It is crazy that you guys are starting autumn, and we are starting spring. Honestly, if I could, I would just alternate between hemispheres so I could always be in fall and winter!

  25. There's nothing cozier than a nice fire in the fireplace. I love the light, the sound and the smell...I don't know why we don't have them more often! You've inspired me to! x Trina
