I've droaned on a bit about how the radiators disturbed the natural beauty of the Chatette.
They were installed in 2003 so that we would have central gas heat. The system: cost a fortune; was not easy for me to use; was extremely expensive with the price of gas and the dollar/euro exchange rate; and, the Chatette was NOT even close to warm and toasty.
In 2008, I moved to meter long logs in the fireplace and rolling gas or electric heaters as needed. You don't want to know what a season of gas cost.
The opening photo had three radiators in it: by the buffet in the lower left corner; below the window on the left, and behind the book case at the far right
I knew the removal of the radiators would make a huge difference for us. What I didn't realize was that if the radiators were still there, none of what you see would have been possible.
Back in 2003, I allowed myself to be persuaded by others that this was the best and cleanest way to heat the Chatette. It wasn't my choice. It wasn't best for me.
Now, I have what works best for us...on all fronts.
Each photo that I'm sharing today is only possible because the radiators are gone.
I think you get my point.
Happy Friday!
