A Lovely $3,000 Fire Place






As some of you may know I am moving into Anthony's next week. In preparation to me and our son (which is my dog) moving in, Anthony has decided to make his house more like a "home". We have been painting, hanging up pictures and so on. One of the things he added was a $3,000.00 fireplace. Don't get me wrong it looks wonderful and it works like a charm but I could have bought 3 Louie Vuitton bags for $3,000, and that could have came with us when we moved back to Long Island.

  2. You'll enjoy getting cozy in front of the $3,000 fireplace as the long, cold winter nights creep up on you. In the long run, it'll be a good investment. When you or Anthony have saved the next $3,000, treat yourself to that Louis Vitton bag!
