I live in Chicago, and after weeks of unusually warm weather, we finally just got our first major snowfall. Although I’ll probably be cursing the powder April when I’m dying for some sunshine, right now I’m enjoying my view of snow-crested branches and rooftops — and it has made me think of all things cozy.
I would die for a fireplace right about now, but do you know what could up the ante? A fireplace in the base. Since I clearly have neither of these, I have been sitting here with my heating up, getting my fix by gathering photographs of drool-worthy baths complete with a radiating fire. Have a look at these photographs, and we can roast marshmallows through a lengthy soak from the comfort of our imaginations.

I can picture it now: gazing outside at a snow-fallen view, my feet warmed by the flame and my favourite read in hand.

Oh, just another rough day in my bath with my fireplace along with my lovely view. Of course, in this version, that beautiful view ought to be coated with snow. But I’ll take it on cool summer evenings as well.

If a modern look is more your style, this complex fireplace certainly fits the bill. Surrounded with novels, it is like a tiny study that only has been fitted with a tub.

Not only does this tub include a fireplace, but apparently a wine and cheese tray as well. This is my heaven.

Even if the fireplace is not in the foot of the tub, one anyplace in the bathroom will make me a happy woman. Say goodbye to that cold chill once you measure from the tub; with a fireplace right there, are always going to be toasty.

I could devote some serious time in here. Take a long bath, dry off by the fire and lounge with a fantastic book and a glass of wine.

I would happily enjoy a long soak with this fireplace any evening of the week!
