Otay, so it isn’t an authentic wood-burning fireplace. Actually, let me back up from that even further and say, it doesn’t burn anything. It is more like wall art, but DAYAM, it is good wall art.
I was out on a mission this weekend with a friend and we came across them at Ace Hardware. Who woulda thought? Ace. Fireplaces. They had some that were over the top crazy expensive. This one was around 100KD (which I know , is stupid because I know that money could be put to better use). But I love it. So, in August, when we are all dying from heat, I will be sitting in front of my fake fireplace, with the AC down to sub-zero, thinking of the "snow" outside (which is really toxic dust).
I know I’m just going to sit there and stare at it. Maybe pretend to roast marshmallows. Maybe get a bearskin rug and get neked in front of it…. The possibilities are endless.
Perhapsee it is because I still have a slight fever? Je ne sais pas.
Dudes came and delivered it and installed it for free. I am very happy with the Ace service. They showed up on time, were courteous, well dressed, and spoke English.
Ya know, if I was Kuwaiti and could buy a home here, I would build one with a fireplace. I don’t care if it only gets cold for 2.5 nanoseconds. There is just something homey about a fireplace.
I’ve got one of those fire pits on my terrace. That is good, but I’m afraid I’m going to burn the place down; especially since I have found fake logs that could torch a good part of Rumaithiya.

OMFG r u f-ing nuts?
me thinks the sickness you had last week or so affected your brain
or were you having a 'blond moment'?
maybe now a 19kd ikea sheepskin rug and an invitation to 'the man' ---- hhhhhmmmm gotcha now - cool move
LOL I'm curious- does it actually heat up like a heater, or is it like one of those Public Access channel "Yule Logs" where they turn the TV camera on a fireplace for 48 hours?
I was down at Ace around New Year and saw these, was trying to explain the Public Access channel "Yule Log" to my Kuwaiti friend.
Anonymous 8:10. Honey, I ALWAYS have blonde moments. I'm blonde. It's what we do. And, The Man doesn't need that much motivation ;) (tee hee), although he thinks its cool and does appreciate a good fire.
Anonymous 10:44. It is a decorative item and also an electric space heater. I wouldn't use the heater option.
It's not like a "Yule Logs" channel (although I LOVE that concept!). It has fake coals in the foreground and some kind of screen behind that produces what appears to be a series of synchronized "flames". It doesn't look too fake, however, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.
You can check them out at ACE. They have several different designs to choose from.
Wow now that I see it installed it looks even better! Am LOVING it! I think it is awesome, although the man finding it 'cool' does somewhat confuse me LOL
J - Cool is hot and hot is cool. :) LOL
It is very quiet around here without you. Come back!
DG, please advice if they have the ones with liquid gel fire thingy... have an anniversary coming in 3 days!
I saw those the other day at ACE ... thought about it for a few seconds then thought my wife will kill me if she came home and found it in our living room LOL
Anonymous 7:01 - I don't know what those are.
Randy - why you no ask her? :)
Hey! That looks AWESOME! we have one and I LOVE IT, turn it on every time I shoot pool! lol
I think this buy is a def WIN!
It looks real nice, I realy like it, and I like your taste of furniture in the living room.:)
Thanks Khaled and Anonymous 9:54. I'm really glad I bought it after all.
I'm indecisive, so I have 3 sets of slipcovers for my sofa and can change the appearance of the room with a quick change of slipcovers and carpets. The fireplace will work with all of them. :)
Not to rain on ur parade but they were half that price earlier this year and they sold out quick so when i went back to get one as a present they had doubled the price... shame on Ace!
