Decorative Fireplaces.

Like many people who live in charming vintage homes or apartments we have a non-working fireplace. 

(Actually I was told could make it work but it'd be a huge fire hazard & we don't want to deal with that.)

So now we have a dilemma- 

What to do with the interior of said fireplace.

 Here are some ideas I dug up... 

{ 1 } { 2 } { 3 } { 4 }

Candles. Mirrors. Books. Wood. Oh my! 

Lots of options but I'm not so sure any of them knock my socks off. 

 The Husband suggested plants, I suggested a nifty hanging lamp of sorts, maybe like this one.

I also saw this idea once where there was just a basket of Christmas lights in the firebox. That was kinda cool...

I guess we could always just put a chair in front of it. Though that seems kinda like a cop out. 

What do you think?
