Lets face it, we live in Canada, its cold and winter is long. I have fond winter memories of curling up beside our fireplace at the farmhouse with a hot chocolate and listening to the crackle of the wood burning as the soft amber light dances and flickers. I think we can all relate that it is the best way to waste away lazy winter sundays. In honor of cozy canadian winters and not having a real wood burning fireplace, here are some funky and fun ways to keep warm this winter.
The Sauna Box is not only is this a great way to use a shipping container, it is just down right cool and looks indestructible! Features include a red cedar interior, integrated iPod stereo, electric guitar hookup, Castor stool, a magnetic truck light, and bronze antlers (bronze antlers, can you tell the manufacturers are Canadian?). I would love one of these for the cabin, I would also love a cabin...It can be yours for just $41,000.
This is a fun, fashionable and fantastic fireplace is perfect for small spaces and one of the coolest fireplaces I have ever seen! The "Mall Fire" by Atria is a fireplace in a trunk, that uses bio ethanol fuel to create flames. Who knows if it actually throws heat, I am going to assume not, but hey everybody loves a fire, as long as you don’t burn your place down!
A towel warmer may seem completely silly, but you have not tried it, this is pure luxury I highly recommend it! This is a gift to yourself and a purchase you will never regret. Use at your own risk, as showers will never be the same again!
If all else fails, forget the winter blues with a visit to KurSpa at Sparkling Hill Resort located just 30 mins from Kelowna. The majestic spa features 7 unique aromatherapy saunas and stream rooms plus showers, a hot tub, an indoor pool and a year round outdoor pool. I had a serious case of sauna/steam room ADD (thats a real condition right?), with so many things to do and see it is hard to concentrate on just one and relax. My personal favourite is the Crystal Sauna followed by a chilly escape into the Igloo and back again (did I mention I had issues concentrating on just one).
If these don’t fix your winter blues and you are still craving cozy evenings in-front of a grand wood burning fireplace... why not buy a new house with a fireplace in it (kidding... kind of... but why not, call me!)? Whatever you do remember that spring is just around the corner and the winter blues will soon be melted away by the beautiful Okanagan sunshine!
