Compared to some places, it never gets REALLY cold here, but by South African standards it's pretty cold right now. We don't actually use heaters at home, because they're not good for the health, but every where we go there seems to be some form of heating in use. This was taken at an auction preview. It appears the staff were using it before it went up for sale. I'd guess it's been around a long time.
Amazing how even when it's 90 degrees out, I can look at this picture and still think, "mmm, that looks cozy". Maybe it's the contrast of the warmth vs. the cold tile floor. Good job.
Very cool! Thanks for the insight on the culture in South Africa..it is neat to hear how others live. Usually at 75 degrees I am cold :) I do have to run my heat although I would rather be cold than hot!
