Finally, after what seems like months of freezing in our house and after months of expensive power bills (running our little electric heater), our new Rinnai gas heater has finally been installed. We ended up choosing the Aspiration Gas Log Flame Fire and we are happy with the way it looks in our living room (excuse the poor photo above, it was difficult taking a shot at night with the reflective glass). Now we just need to touch up underneath the unit, put the skirting back on and hang our artwork back on the wall.
For the past few days, I've been battling a nasty cold so no playgroup for Grace and I today. We're going to have a nice quiet day and hopefully get outdoors and enjoy some of the sunshine that has been forecast. At least when it gets cooler this evening, we'll be able to keep warm in front of our new heater. Hope you all have a lovely day too.
YAY!! Looks fantastic...wow..such a difference..enjoy darling and get better in front of the fire xo
ReplyDeleteI bet it feel so nice to back up to that baby and get all toasty warm. It looks great. I'm actually a little affixed with fireplaces. We don't have one though in Winter whenever I visit my parents it's the first place you'll find me.

ReplyDeleteoh how nice is that.......one day i'd love one too, although we have ducted heating, having a fire like that makes it feel more cosy......my girlfriend not long got one too so she passed on her fire dvd, so we have a crackling fire - via dvd {i know it's a bit lame but fun} enjoy lisa xox
ReplyDeleteLooks great Amanda! I bet it feels sooo good to be warm. We have had the cold bug around here the last few days. It is nice to have some sunshine today and some fresh air. Hope you feel better soon xx
ReplyDeleteYay Amanda, that's great! How nice and cosy for you all. You know I saw in a mag the other day where they'd installed one of those Ikea Lack? shelves over the top of a heater to give a mantel feel. It looked great. Maybe something to think about?

That looks brilliant!!!! And so nice to get Grace dressed into PJs in front of after bath time!!
ReplyDeleteLuv, you must be THRILLED!! Here's wishing for a blizzard over your house - just tonight - so you can toast marshmallows over your (almost) log fire!! xo
ReplyDeleteHow cosy it must be Amanda. And in time to give you some comfort too. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I'd love one of those. We have the woodburner fireplace, but it's a bit selective with the heat and with all the rain we've had there hasn't been much opportunity for gathering dry firewood. This is on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteYeah to getting the heater in especially when it has been cold the last couple of nights. It looks lovely and cosy.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you feel better soon Amanda and get a chance to get out in the sun today. Take care. xo
looking hot! haha get it...sorry having a very very bad joke day!
ReplyDeleteYou new heater looks fabulous and I bet it makes the room feel much cosier! I like the look of the logs, well done. Hope you are feeling better soon! xx
ReplyDeleteooooo, it looks gorgeous! So sleek & classy. Got to hand it to you A.......you make great choices!!!
ReplyDeleteHope sitting in front of your fireplace, speeds up your recovery.
Yay!! It looks great Amanda! I bet you are thrilled with the result! I hope you are feeling better soon. Take care, Christine xo
ReplyDeleteYahoooo!! I'm so excitd for you guys, it must be so nice to have it all finally finished... no more heater dramas for you!! (Nice choice by the way, it looks gorgeous)
ReplyDeleteI really hope you are feeling better soon mate, and that no one else catches your nasty cold... try laying out in the sun as much as you can, soak up some rays.

ReplyDeletefinally! how exciting! and right now is when you will appreciate it the most too, hope you get over your cold quickly. there's plenty of lovely sunshine forecast to help :)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! I am glad you can get some warmth into your home and power bills drive me crazy when the weather changes. It's stiffling here so naturally our AC is running nonstop. I hope you feel better soon!
