Surely the best time of year to own a brick house–even a brick house in much need of love and maintenance–is winter. Almost every night this week, we’ve been lighting fires in our huge fireplace and snuggling up to the fire with blankets and Oscar and books and tea. Wood floors, thick curtains, lath and plaster walls, and a glimpse of brick lining our windows make it feel so warm and wonderful inside.
