I am not the greatest at decorating.
- I have always admired people who can decorate and make their homes look super comfy.
I wish that I had those skills, but I just do not. I am determined to get better though. I cannot possibly get worse, so there is really nothing to lose. Something that I have always admired about cozy houses is fireplaces. To me, a fireplace in the living room or family room makes the house feel so cozy. I prefer a real wood burning fireplace, but my husband works a lot, and he did not think that he would have time to keep up with chopping wood. I wish that I could do it, but I severely hurt my back several years ago, and I have not been able to do anything physically strenuous since then. It really stinks, and I hope that someday I will be able to do the things that I used to. I ended up looking into my other options for a fireplace. I looked at several propane fireplaces as well as a few electric ones. I almost bought a propane fireplace, but then, I visited a friend’s house who had a propane fireplace, and I realized that I really do not like the odor that a propane fireplace puts off. I decided that an electric fireplace would be best for our family. I have had my electric fireplace for about two months now, and I already think that our house feels a lot more homey and cozy. Now, I have to figure out what I want to do next as far as decor goes.
