What’s Warm and Cozy and doesn’t have to be Brick?

Ahhh… Winter in New England.  We’ve seen temps go from -4 to 60 degrees in a span of just a few days.  It’s a bit of a ghost town on those cold days, with everyone hunkered down indoors.  What better way to cozy up than by a blazing fire?  Fireplaces can be a great focal point to design your room around.  Here is a little inspiration to help you get started.

 

Just because you have a traditional wood paneled fireplace doesn’t mean that it has to be boring.  Add a little pizazz and go from (yawn!) brown to fun and inviting!

 

 

I just know there’s water around here somewhere!  Doesn’t this just scream “coastal beach house”?

 

 

Sometimes what you put on, above, below, and all around your fireplace is just as important as the fireplace itself!

 

 

I want to turn this into a pizza oven!

 

 

A little old world sophistication is dramatic!

 

 

And when less is best…

 

 

This is as much a conversation piece as it is a fire, don’t you think?

 

 

I don’t know what makes me smile more, the stone fireplace or the artwork beside it!

 

 

Now that’s a “spa”!!!!!!
