Getting ready for Christmas
When we started imagining what this house would look and what features it would have, we wanted to have a fireplace in the living room with a mantle and stone, something with visual "heft" to anchor the space. We did it. And now I get to decorate that fireplace for Christmas. We really enjoy spending the evening by the fire reading or YouTubing or...whatever. It's a cozy spot to knit the night away. :)
