colonial fireplaces

For me, January is all about keeping cozy. Enjoying the cold rather than fighting it. Appreciating the darkness by lighting candles. Allowing myself to move at a slower pace. I find that this frame of mind is best embraced when beside a fireplace. I am a big fan of fireplaces - all types - but check out these amazing colonial ones that I am currently obsessing over.
