There is something magical about the fireplace during the colder months. Whether you are decorating the mantel for the holidays, cozying up under a blanket while watching the flames dance, or simply waiting for Santa to come down the chimney, no one can deny they add a special something to the home.
Fireplaces are pretty versatile as well. In the warmer months (which are most of the year in Wrightsville Beach!), you can easily replace logs with a few candles or a string of lights to create that beautiful glow without the heat. For easy lighting, wax-dipped pinecones make great kindling and if the wax just happens to be scented, the pinecones will add a pleasant scent in addition to your wood logs. (Have an electric or gas fireplace? Save the wax pinecones for the outdoor (wood-burning) fire pit.)
