I hope you're all doing well. I haven't been posting as much lately - the start of school and getting everything underway has really distracted me! But, the dust is settling and I hope to be blogging more often going forward. Now on to today's post!
As the weather turns cooler here in Seattle I am looking forward to experiencing our first fire in our new home. (yes, I still call it our new home even though we've been in the house for six months now. :))
I think I'm a bit over-excited about this event but all of you can probably understand! :) Along those lines, here are a few of my favorite fireplaces. I hope you can find some inspiration that you love!

It's an old section of fences that I bought an antiques market in Munich.
I love the rustic touch that it adds to the room.

Such interesting lines on this fireplace!
I guess you can tell that I lean toward an oversized stone fireplace mantel.
What's your favorite style?

The third and last images are my favorites! So much beautiful here. I am excited about a fire too, but we don't see much really cold weather.
Thank you fr sharing these beauties.

I found LOTS of inspiration! Every picture was gorgeous! Glad to hear I'm not the only one having trouble with keeping up in blogland! I do see things beginning to quiet down around here as well and I must admit I'm loving it! Have a great week!
Hi Barbara! I love the stone and rustic look too... very cozy :). Beautiful images! I'm glad the dust is settling a bit and hope the kiddos are off to a great start!
Gorgeous post....nothing like a roaring fire to cozy up next to...one of my most favorite simple pleasures in life.
love em, barbara! these are such great inspirations for our next build! (don't let my husband read this post!)
smiles to you.

Sadly we don't have a fireplace so we're envious of those who do... We head upstate to get our cozy fire on and will be doing so soon!

I agree, oversized stone is definitely my favourite. Love these examples! x Sharon PS I can't believe its been 6 months. It seems like just the other day that you were living in Germany!
Ms. Barbara,
I am coming over!!(: They are all so inviting.
Time for another evening out. How about next week? Marianne is game too.
Miss you!

Barbara, beautiful cozy pictures. I wish it would get cold here so I could turn on the fireplace. It sounds relaxing.
We just tried out our newly rebuilt fire place in our family room (post renovation) and I can't wait for the temps to stay low, so I can light it up all the time. Now, I'm on the hunt for a great pair of andirons.
It takes time to feel "at home"....so at 6 months, I think you're doing great!!
xoxo Elizabeth
