Electric fireplace?
July 25th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Electric Fireplaces
We bought a beautiful house that is perfect in every way, except for a very ugly fake fireplace. My house is traditional, but the mantel is light oak. Well, actually, it is just about perfect after I have spent 4 years and a lot of money. My last project is the fireplace, [...]

Anyone here own or have owned an electric fireplace?
June 22nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Electric Fireplaces
I am considering getting one but there are so many different brands out there that it is hard for me to choose. The one I really want is made by "Orleans Furniture". Is that a good brand?

Need opinions on decorating our new house "artsy" or antique?

The contemporary couch is sort of a yellowy beige, and the pillows are a crewel floral with a deep red background. The living room is super small and dark. I’ve got a matching beige on the wall, but it looks really dark. Should I go with a lighter version? I was thinking a really muted [...]
