Our building materials arrived yesterday. We've taken on the task of finishing our basement. For the past 2 weeks or so we have been "moving out" of our basement. It's been a big storage area since we moved in as well as TV room and kids play area. So now most of it is in boxes and in our garage. I'm so excited to have the extra room. The boys will be moving down there so maybe I'll have my own little work room upstairs. I'll finally have a place to put all our schools stuff as well as my craft projects. Downstairs we're adding on 2 bedrooms, a large family room a full bath and laundry room.
Also included in our floor plans is a wood burning fireplace. This was my request. Mostly I want it for a back up heat source, but I'll admit I can't get over the image of wrapping up in a blanket, sipping hot cocoa and reading a book next to it. Last Christmas I was talking to Dennis about it and he made me one. . . out of butcher paper! Isn't he amazing!
We even hung our stockings from it last year. It's going up again this year in our living room because I just love it! The new one will be nice also, but it won't be in by Christmas, which is fine because I have this one.

I love wood burning fireplaces too (and for all the same reasons you mentioned)...that is so exciting that you are getting one, and a finished basement as well.
