It look like real wood and was beautiful. One click and it was on warming up the room with no mess. I miss it. <br />I have 5 fireplaces in this home and really only use 2. I am thinking of switching over the one in the kitchen and studio to gas maybe I would use them !<br /><br />I like your new electric stove and note to you.... your room looks very tidy and quite lovely.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-20904312857220975022012-02-08T17:54:19.242+00:002012-02-08T17:54:19.242+00:00I understand, completely!
