Fabulous Fireplaces

With all the cold weather during the holidays stay warm by making use of your fireplace! Here are some fireplace stunners that really make you want to cozy up around them and look amazing too.

La Purificadora

Check out this amazing Innovative Mexican hotelier Carlos Couturier’s latest project is an inland wonder, a former 19th-century water-purifying centrer next to the Iglesia de San Francisco in the colonial city of Puebla.
