    I'm behind because I came here from Paige's tour, but you should consider getting a bio-ethanol flame for the fireplace! They don't give off any dangerous levels of gases or anything from what I understand, so you don't need a way for it to escape outside like a traditional fire. The Sorry Girls just did a video with one in it. If you are worried about the pup with a flame and the potential gas levels that would be understandable, but it might be worth looking into and you'd likely only have it on when you're in the room anyway? :) It would make the soot look like it really belongs there hahha.
