    So on a business trip/ vacation to the blue ridge mountains in NC. This fireplace was in the lobby of the hotel. Actually one on each side of the lobby. Hotel was built in 1913 and has a ton of history- an awesome trip and the mountains are beautiful. Wife is 5’11” for refremce 71DD74C5-AFA1-4DC9-8982-C2209AF17BF0.jpeg

    From where you took that picture behind those chairs, I swear it looks like you photoshopped a miniature version of your wife into the frame :confused:

    A member here posted a picture of what I thought was a mini action figure doll toy in front of a tree a few years ago. I thought maybe he made a fairy garden for a kid but NO. Wooops, it was real, it was him in front of a massive tree!

    Yeah looked photoshopped to me too. For one why would anyone think they’d need a set of andirons in a fireplace that big? Just roll a whole tree in there and be done with it :)

    On a side note. Anyone from Ct/Mass area been to the Salem Cross Inn? They do prime rib in the fireplace with a really neat clock system.

    Buds gun shop is close to the knife store too for when you get tired of Dollywood. Just saying there’s plenty of places to make sure you go home broke.
