That's great. I live in an historic region and the center chimney homes are some of the oldest, usually more than 200 years old. They have incredible masonry support work on the basement, sometimes using arches, to support the weight of the massive chimney.

Dim lights, soft music, a warm fire and someone special to cuddle with. Don't get much better than that.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
No, it doesn't.
This is beautiful...and what makes it even more beautiful is to give and receive love in front of it...
SweetMae · 70-79, F
Yes. That is the best!
LillyOLilly · F
That is nice.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
Thank you. ☺
Nice! That looks like homes around here.. we have many historical houses around. I love 'em.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
I love them too. The windows don't stay up on their own. I have to hold them open with thin boards.
Peaches · F
Yes, I remember those kinds of old homes back in NC. My grandmother ran a boarding house there when I was little. In the summer all the tenants had those little sticks/boards in the windows to hold then up.🏚
SweetMae · 70-79, F
They have slammed down a few times. Luckily no one was hurt.. @Peaches:

I did the same only in leather made all of our equipment and bead work ,, I was thinking of changing to colonial when I live back east but I would have been the only one ,, I had a small farm and it would have been easy to be a colonial farmer ,,,I used Dixie guns works for things I could not make ,,

@mountainman1234: Mountain Men are an entirely different culture.
mountainman1234 · 70-79, M
Yes that is why we ( there was about a dozen of us ),, and it was out doors and life was simple but always something to do and we had the mountains to enjoy also ,,

Nothing beats antiques and the woodwork in old homes. I'm glad I opened this post. Thank you for the visit.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
You are welcome. It all feels very cozy.
ToyMan · 56-60, M
What a cool thing. I don't know that I've heard of a center chimney before, or an arrangement like that. I love the character of the woodwork and layout. Very special indeed.
ToyMan · 56-60, M
@SweetMae: I've always loved them myself. No two are alike and each have a way of telling a story. I've got some friends who live in new houses in developments and such. And while nice with modern conveniences.....they just seem to lack something an old home has.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
I look at so many houses before I found this one. I like the charm.
ToyMan · 56-60, M
@SweetMae: It's evident from the photo. 👍

It is my favorite place to be in the winter.

@SweetMae: That is not bad. When i visit my cabin. i have a stove like this
SweetMae · 70-79, F
@bhatjc: That is very cool. My family had one when we were growing up.
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@SweetMae: That is sweet. But to much snow around my cabin right now.
Peaches · F
WOW!🔥That's awesome Mae...I miss having one. They sure built that home the right way, and you sure make it cozy❣😍⭐🏡
SweetMae · 70-79, F
Thank you. I do enjoy living there. We waited 40 years to have our home in Connecticut.
cycleman · 61-69, M
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd be cooking all meals over an open flame !
SweetMae · 70-79, F
I do. And I cook in the bake oven in the back.
TheShanachie · 61-69, M
very nice and cozy, wide board floors like mine!
SweetMae · 70-79, F
Some are over 18" wide.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
It is always nice to come home to.

May I ?
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
Is that an historic house?
SweetMae · 70-79, F
It was built like a living history home.

The hearth
SweetMae · 70-79, F
Yes, that is two pieces of solid blue stone granite.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
I am sure that this is a place of comfort and a solace to you. It gives you a reason to be home when you are in the mood to meditate and think about the finer things in life. ☺
SweetMae · 70-79, F
That is very true. Thank you! ☺
