Electric Fireplaces
There is just something amazing about having a fireplace! Growing up, I constantly loved going to Granny & Papa’s cabin because they had the “fire machine.” That’s what I called their old, wood burning fireplace.
My Grandparents passed away when I was just ten years old, but they left a lovely legacy for their grandchildren.
One of my number one memories was resting on my Papa’s lap right next to the “fire machine” as she told me story after story of “the good old afternoons.” Ever since then, I vowed I would never buy a cabin that didn’t have a fireplace in it so that I could tell my grandchildren stories beside it one afternoon. When my wife & I first were married, we rented an apartment. It was cute & cozy, but it didn’t have a fireplace, so my sweet wife bought one. The landlord wouldn’t let him install any fireplace except an electric one, so that’s what she ended up getting. I loved the electric fireplace that we had, but it wasn’t the same to me. I missed the smell of burning wood that reminded me of my Grandparents. We eventually saved up the money to purchase our very own home. The only requirement that I had was that it had a fireplace in good, toiling condition. We looked for months before finally finding the cabin of our dreams, & it had the most lovely fireplace I had ever seen. I told my wife that if we ever end up selling our house, we have to take my fireplace with us to the next house!
