I've wanted a wood-burning fireplace since - well I can' remember when. We always had one when I was a kid. Now it seems they're far and few between - even in century homes (in which they've been plastered over, generally) and in a frigid climate that warrants one, no questions asked.
Oh, you can find yourself an ersatz gas-powered one, not that I'm scoffing at any beautiful flame. But that just doesn't give the full, through-the-ages experience.
Now, where does this come in:
Yes, an ethanol-burning, table-top gizmo. It's certainly an interesting design.
And you can put it on your dining room table.
But it seems a bit dangerous to me, hmmm? Whatcha think?

Yikes, no thanks. It looks so cold and un-cozy.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, no.
ReplyDeleteI saw something similar on a home makeover show last weekend. It was a simple coffee table covered with a thick slab of concrete(?), with a hole in the middle to place the fire.
ReplyDeleteIt looked nice and went well with their decor (industrial). But I kept thinking it's a good thing they didn't have kids. I was a little worried about their dog too even though it was a little terrier and probably couldn't reach.
It's kind of cool looking.
ReplyDeleteI'm sold but I'd have flames and candles everywhere if it wasn't such a fire hazard!
ReplyDeleteAnd I do miss my log fires one in every room bar bathrooms and kitchen in old house (sniff)
It looks like a big lighter.
ReplyDeleteVery.
ReplyDeleteBut it looks very cool, too.
Sal: It is cold and uncozy. But maybe it's cool?
ReplyDeleteMonkey: Duly noted.
Raven: I'd actually be more worried about a pet because they're harder to watch like a hawk. I mean, they can jump faster.
Wendy: I agree. But also kind of cold (see Sal's comment).
Kate: Oh, I do love candles...
Bel: OMG. It totally does. It is SO over for me now :-)
E: I'm liking your profile photo...
~h: That's completely nuts! Fireplace in FLA?? Love it.
