Heat-N-Glo Twilight II Indoor Outdoor Gas Fireplace

We turned on the gas fireplace for the first time yesterday. It actually heats the porch quite well (and provides super ambiance as you can see below). My Mom enjoyed her cocktail in front of the fire, but she's not completely sold on it's efficiency indoors. We'll keep you posted...

Kitchen Update

The kitchen is almost done - just a few odds and ends to complete. The cherry door and drawer fronts are installed. They have curved cut-outs instead of door and drawer pulls. The sides of the island are tiled in the same glass tile as the backsplash. We plan to unpack our kitchen boxes this weekend, so we will have something to put on those shelves...


The pendant light fixtures are from Niche Modern. The cherry shelving and door and drawer fronts are custom made, but the cabinets are from Ikea. The glass tile on the island and backsplash is Genoa Champagne 2"x8" from Medici Mosaics.

The Riga wall sconces are from Fontana Arte. The counter tops are Bianco Romano granite from Brazil.

The indoor/outdoor see-through fireplace is the Twilight II from Heat & Glo (it's not finished yet).

We re-used all of the appliances from our previous kitchen.
