New Stoves!


As much as we have loved this blue gem of a stove, it was a bit small to heat our sun-dining room and living room, and we were using more oil than we wanted to...

So we got a new one! It's not Vermont Castings, like the blue one, but Jotul (pronounce yodel :) is apparently a great brand for big warm stoves, and this one has a side loader! That may mean nothing to you, but it has made me very happy and keeping toasty has been so easy. 

I also am in love with the slate pad underneath it, where I am currently warming up my boots and Pippa is warming herself.


Bedroom before:

Our bedroom is freezing unless we turn the heat on, and when we do that we are heating the entire house which really isn't necessary and uses more oil than we'd like. So, we decided to get a little propane stove! Our room is pretty spacious, but we decided to put it on the side wall so it would be able to reach and heat my closet and the bathroom...


and after:




There's a little remote installed on the wall near our bed (on my side :) and I can press a button to turn the stove on or off. We hope this will keep our oil bill down (to almost nothing) and that the propane shortage ends soon....go figure that propane prices are up and there's a shortage the winter we get a propane stove!
