4 of the 6 people living here are freezing at anything under 75 . Majority rules!
 
I like it cool in the day and warm right before I go to bed...and freezing in the bedroom.

My wife like it as hot as possible everywhere. That's what I get for stealing a girl from NC and moving her to NY. :)
 
fleece pants were not a good idea last night when the stove room got up to 79º.....
 
Adding flannel blankets almost completely silenced any cold bedroom complaints. I Highly recommend them.
 
We got a dual zone heated blanket for our bed. It is pretty awesome to get into a warm bed on a really cold night. She leaves hers hot enough to roast a chicken and I turn it off as soon as I get in.
 
By the time it gets down to 68 ,Wife is packing her bags.

we keep ours between 66* and 78*+. I opt for the warmer temps and my wife prefers the cooler ones. Of course she has on flannel PJs, blanket and a furry, 4-legged lap warmer. I'm decked out in a colorful mismatched summertime ensemmble that I've rescued from the dumpster yet again. I promissed her there would be no mention of "hot flashes" in this contribution.
I would mention that the temps go up depending on how loudly the wind is howling outside. Warmth is a mental thing at times....
 
we had it at a whopping 57 in our bedroom last night.... when I got home from work, it was 58 in the stove room, a few hours later, it was up to 72.
 
Was 67 when i got up, 29 deg outside. Were freezing! Stove time!
 
Thermostats (4) at 60-65 in the house; but when it's cold and windy outdoors I like 72F. Definitely like a cool bedroom, though. I'm in my shop right now and it's a comfy 71F (the wind has really picked up outdoors). Nothing like a fire on a chilly shoulder season day!

Funny how that works, isn't it? On some cold blustery days, we'll let the house get to temps that we would have the A/C on in the summer for. But that's one thing I like about the stove, I'm not a bit guilty when we do.
