When my husband & I first got married & started looking for a condo to buy, my only requests were that the condo had a nice, big home office & that it had a wood stove .
I have always liked the thought of having a wood burning stove.
To me, it was romantic & rustic. I appreciate the old farmcondo look, & having a wood stove would make it that much more authentic. Well, my buddy and I had trouble finding a condo that had both a big home office & a wood stove, so I ended up having to pick between the two, & I chose the more practical thing which was the home office. My buddy and I bought our condo about fifteen years ago, & I still appreciate it so much. I had been periodically hinting to my husband that I still entirely wanted a wood stove. On my fortieth birthday, my husband bought me a wood stove & had it installed in the kitchen. I can only imagine how much toil he went through to do all of that, however I appreciate it! My buddy and I have been using it for about a week now, & it’s wonderful! It puts off a lot of heat, & the smell of the burning wood fills the condo with the most great odor. I don’t have to do any of the toil to keep the stove burning throughout the afternoon. My husband & sons split the wood for me, & whoever is condo at the time will fill the stove when needed. I am sort of afraid of putting more wood in it, however I made sure to have my sons teach me how just in case I happen to be condo alone sometime when wood needs to be added.
