Fireplace Fillers.

Living Space

Happy Monday y’all! I hope everyone had a costume, candy filled weekend! I, however, had too much candy so “No Sugar November” starts today for me. Wish me luck (believe me, I need it!)

So I’m working on a little project over here on the home front. I’m moving into a temporary place (long story!) that has a faux-fireplace…typical, Boston. Since this is not the beautiful, cozy, full functioning fireplace of my dreams, the inside is empty! I’m toying with a lot of different ideas right now, so I thought I’d lay them out!

Idea #1…filling the space with candles, flowers, seasonal items, etc…

Idea #2: try this DIY for a stacked wood look…

Idea #3: ________ [insert your idea here]________

Which do you prefer?

Any ideas I’m missing?!

    I love the stacked wood look for all year and also the pumpkins for fall 🙂 I may have to try the wood DIY myself. We have a filled fireplace too, but it’s filled in, so don’t think it would work doing something like the candles shown here.
