Baby it’s cold outside…

This chilly weather has me very thankful that we ended up with house that had a fire place.
I love lighting it up (ok so Jon does the lighting), grabbing some hot chocolate and stack of magazines and just relaxing by the warmth with the pups at my feet.
Some accessories for the fire place lover would make for a great holiday gift this season:
1. A cozy throw for some added warmth. I would pretend it was a very much lusted after Hermes blanket.
2. Owls are all the rage this season and I must say I have fallen for them as well. I hope they get along with all of the elephants in my house. These andirons are a perfect gift and only $45.
3. Marshmallows are a must in my house. I love using them in smores or hot chocolate during the cold winter months.
4. Every fireplace has a mantle that needs to be adorned with Stockings come Christmas morning.
5. I may not have the Hermes blanket I dream of, but I can still have a little bit of Hermes orange in a hot chocolate mug.
6. Hot Chocolate the way my mom makes it. Add a tablet to a cup of hot milk and blend. Yum.
7. A little dose of animal print in the form of fireplace matches.
8. I love gold tones mixed into my fireplace mantle and this holder adds the perfect dose.
9. Instant fireplace for those that don’t have a fireplace. Exudes a lovely aroma of a real wood burning fire.
10. Canvas log carrier for only $11.73! Get the gift receivers initials embroidered on it and voila chic gift!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Love it all- particulary fond of the throw, owls, leopard matches, matches holder, log carrier and diptyque candle of course- great list!
Wow. That Domino photo is incredibly gorgeous! You’ve got all my favorite fireplace goods covered! : )
I love when people have old domino images. It’s cold here today! Big time
I know. I’ve been dreaming of a full collection of old Domino magazines, but they are going for $80 an issue on ebay! So mad I threw so many of them away.
All great suggestions! We’ve been using our fireplace like crazy this winter, and I just ordered the canvas log carrier for my hubby. Thanks for the recommendations – you can’t beat a gift for $11.73!!

Everything is beautiful. I love fireplaces. Just looking at them make me feel warm and cozy!
I love those towels you chose! This combo of blue and white is so crisp. Great pick!
Great list…the only thing missing is a good chick flick video like Sleepless in Seattle or When Harry met Sally….aaaaah..now that is what I call a perfect winter afternoon.
Just happened on this older post…don’t know how I missed it the first go around. Anyway, that rug in the first picture is the Madeline Weinrib rug I scored off of Craigslist New York for $350 as an 8 x 10. Best score ever. I miss New York CL!
