🔥 THE HEARTH ROOM
What is it? Who needs it?
The hearth room is simple. It’s warm floors, a cup of tea, a book you’ve read a hundred times. It’s a place to keep a promise, hold a secret, breathe for a minute. It’s the roar of flame, the smell of hot food, the kind of room people drift toward without thinking, a Thanksgiving magnet whether you invited anyone or not. It’s life in a prairie winter. Frosted windows and Ice fog. Sundogs hanging in the sky like the world is reminding you to slow down. It’s where you gather, where you cry, where you laugh, where you thaw out after the day has taken more than it gave. It’s a dream. And I’m going to build it. And when it’s done, the room will be warm and the coffee will be ready.
