I recently stumbled upon this really hot new fire pit by Skagerak. The cast iron bowl is kind of reminiscent of 1950’s planters, giving this piece an ultra modern and super sleek look. I just ordered one for my house upstate. My purchase was inspired by Joe Wright’s film Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly – it is one of my favorite movies. I love that in the film the old English estates are lit by urns and fire pits. I want to create a similar feel at my house when we have guests over!
If you are lucky enough to have a fireplace in your living room then consider some accessories for your hearth. Log holders, great matches, electric igniters, and baskets for newspaper can all enhance the fireplace’s toasty tone. Plus, fireplace accessories make hot housewarming gifts, just perfect for gatherings on chilly winter nights. Check out these great porcelain logs by Klein Reid.
