It's a want, not a need

All this cold, dreary weather really has me wanting to throw some logs into the fireplace and curl up on the sofa with a good book. Oh wait, we don't have a fireplace. I've actually considered having one put in, but figured it would cost too much so that thought got put on the back burner.

I grew up with a big wood burning fireplace in our den and I even remember melting the soles of a pair of my Mom's house shoes after propping my feet up on the hearth for a few minutes. I love the crackling sounds and smell of the wood burning. It's also good to have one available to use during a once in a life time snow storm.

My next house WILL have a fireplace. Here are a few I found that I wouldn't mind in my den:

It'll also be nice to have a mantle to hang stockings on too.
