First one is one of the barrel stoves right after I finished it. The first fire in it took care of that pretty green paint and it's got a nice rusty patina now.

Second pic is the stove in the house. It's got a soapstone liner inside, so it takes a while to heat up, but stays warm forever once it does. I would have liked a larger stove, but that spot is pretty much the only place in the kitchen that we had room for it (and it's exactly in the center of the house that way) and there's only so much room to work with there. We're in Texas, so the heating requirements usually aren't too heavy, anyway. Will probably install a second one in the living room someday.
