Baby you light my fire

Lots of blogs I read,that aren't necessarily about interior decorating,have been filled with gorgeous pictures of bedrooms,kitchens,living rooms,bathrooms,etc.And I started thinking about what the one decoration element is that I'm a bit preoccupied with at the moment.

Well,you Northern Hemispherers (not a word,but you know what I mean) must excuse me,since you guys are probably totally assfull of cold weather and winter,but I am looking forward to the coming winter as much as I would look forward to a bowl of nachos after being on a no-carb diet for a year.So yeah,I'm pretty excited.And the one decoration element I am loving,is the fireplace.

Our apartment is way too small for one,and nowhere I've ever lived (which is all of 3 places) has ever had a fireplace (inside at least),but it is a dream of mine to live in a cold place somewhere,and then have a fireplace in every single room.Yup,even in the bathroom.Hell,especially in the bathroom.I mean,just imagine lying in front of a roaring fire,naked as the day God made you,having some 'quality' time with your significant other.Can it get any better?I'm sure it can,but right now,that just seems perfect to me.

{So,without further ado,here are some examples of the lovelies}


Also pretty usefull as storage space it seems


A nifty room divider

See?Fireplace in the bathroom = awesome!
Imagine waking up in a room like this

{And for those who want to put a bit of a modern spin on the old school fireplace,here are some options}






Do any of you have actual fireplaces?Do you use them,or are they basically just a hole in you wall that is used as a home by a lovely family of spiders.
