Playing these videos works exactly the same as any other Netflix TV show or movie.
FIREPLACE 4K CRACKLING BIRCHWOOD DVD SERIES
The “Fireplace for Your Home” series (also available on DVD ) includes a variety of background music choices and different wood species. Netflix has a surprisingly large library of fireplace videos. Most of us in Australia don’t have a fire place but I have some tips and tricks to create a cozy lounge room.
We are looking to buy this one this year. You can get off-cuts from carpet stores or there are ones made of recycled fabric so you can buy well for your home and the planet. Hardwood floors are not only chilly underfoot in winter they don't help hold in any heat, so unless you have underfloor heating, it's time to invest in a rug or two. If you have tiles or hardwood floors, rugs are an easy and effective way to make your home cosy and comfortable in winter. Covid and the flu season are going to hit hard this year so a clean home is a must! Dust in your home at this time of year can trigger allergies and illness so stay on top of the deep cleaning of high touch places like sinks, handles and railings. We have a cleaner come once a fortnight but now is the time to clean the cobwebs and tidy the pantry. Here’s 8 things I do to set our home up for winter. Having a warm and cozy house means I can look forward to a warm place to relax at the end of the day but this requires a bit of a reset. I don’t know about you, but winter is one season I really struggle with!įor some of you reading this (hello to those in Queensland!) winter is short, and for others like me (in Victoria) it’s a marathon. Log line: With quality production values and the branding to match, the FFYH series are perennial go-to backdrops for a reason.These last few weeks I spent some time (before I injured my ankle!!) resetting the house for winter. If we could recommend one non-holiday entry, the Fireplace 4K: Crackling Birchwood edition (on Netflix only) is quite lovely, and is available, in FFYH fashion, with and without a musical soundtrack. The lighting-not too dark, not too bright-makes for a cozy contrast. Visual flourishes are minimal aside from the almost perfect symmetry of freshly chopped wood-bonus points for the fire actually evolving over the course of the hour. For our seasonally specific purposes, the Christmas Music/Holiday and Crackling Yule Log Fireplace editions are tasteful, straightforward installments. Other audio: An instrumental soundtrack of synth and string textures is expected if innocuous.įireside thoughts: Ash auteur George Ford’s empire of “Fireplace for Your Home” titles provides nothing if not options, and the holidays are no exception.
Log line: From secular to sacred to clip-art Santa, this is truly the ultimate, whatever that means.įireplace for Your Home Presents: Christmas Music/Holiday Edition and Crackling Yule Log FireplaceĪvailability: Christmas Music/Holiday Edition (Amazon Prime Video and Hulu), Crackling Yule Log Fireplace (Netflix)Ĭrackle factor: Quite pronounced, even over the music. Add a dusting of snow and a starry night on top of the flames for odd measure, along with another obviously computer-sketched hearth superimposed over the fire, some truly god-awful illustrations, an old animation and telling of the story of Luke 2, and a scene from 1935’s Scrooge, the first feature-length sound adaptation of A Christmas Carol. No kidding, the finest bit of Santa clip art floats down the live-action chimney (ouch, those flames!) barely 2 minutes into the hour-plus shenanigans, with the backing brick wall a canvas for projections of Christmas ornaments, nutcrackers, church facades, winter landscapes and other seasonal sights. Did someone ask for a ball-peen hammer for Christmas? Break it out.įireside thoughts: A vestige of the old 4:3 screen ratio age, this one throws everything and the kitchen sink into the (deeply sooted) hearth, which looks as though it were illuminated from above by fluorescent key light. Other audio: The corn factor is high on this one, from an opening poem of Hallmarkian sentiment to the lowest-budget Manheim Steamroller carols a la ’80s-era Casio, tinny pianos, ancient symphonic and choral treatments, even a reggae nod. The Ultimate Yule Log: The Light of ChristmasĬrackle factor: You’ll be too dumbfounded by the visuals and music to bother seeking out the crackle.
