A few weeks ago we ordered a poêle for La Maisonnette in an effort to make the cottage the perfect place to visit in the cooler months as well. It really makes a difference to have access to a wood-burning fireplace between November and March, so we bit the bullet and invested in an attractive, high-quality poêle. Yes, we already have a fireplace...after all, the cottage was home to the town oven several hundred years ago (read more about the "four banal" here). But, the poêle is necessary if we want to keep the cottage from potentially smelling like a campfire, and in my book that's a must! These types of stoves are very popular in France and now we understand why they are used so much--older French homes almost require one if you like things nice and clean. Since we've invested so much of ourselves in the cottage, this is the next step.

ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it!! A cozy fire makes everything lovely! We LOVE our stove and how everyone gathers around it all winter.
ReplyDeleteOh. This is wonderful. So cozy!
ReplyDeleteThat little stove is beautiful, and it look so French! I can imagine hating a house that always smelled like bon-fire, but seriously, I'd latch on to any excuse that would justify buying such a cute stove!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday! =)

ReplyDeleteThe beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.
ReplyDeleteWe loved the poêle this past week. We used it about 3 different nights. Perfect for late November!
