When they crackle and glow!!! – to warm the body as well as the heart!! And, it seems these feeling are quite universal!!

There is nothing more heart warming than a fire crackling in the hearth, offsetting the chill of cool evenings as autumn descends on our beautiful lake Simcoe region.

So, if having a fireplace in your home is important to you…. You might just want to find out why by having a read through Hearth Warming, not to mention picking up some tips to ensure you get your best version of one of today’s interior “champions of the heart”.
