Fires are lovely in the cold of winter. But fires are also passionate and hard to control. Sort of like a 13 year old girl. And SHE gets her own room, right? So why treat a fire differently? Get a fireplace and you'll never have to worry.
Fire is like a cat. Even when it wants to love you, it'll accidentally stab you with tiny claws and then hiss at you like it was your fault and then go hide under the couch for an hour and glare the whole time. Be prepared with a fireplace!
