We don&#39;t have a fireplace but installed a very (very!) old mantel to use as a shelf. Now my challenge is to make it look more like a fireplace and less like something that was just slapped up against the wall.

I am inspired by that post and since I can paint my walls here and they are white, Im intrigued by that black one. That could be great in my bedroom.

I wish I had one as a focal point in my living room, but I&#39;m just going to have to pretend that my tv armoire is a fireplace and mantel. You have to work with what you&#39;ve got, right? :) My favorite fireplace that you featured is the one in your header! LOVE it! Have a great day!

I have a stone fireplace, similar to the first picture, except the stone extends all the way to the top of the cathedral ceiling (a good 20 or more feet). I used to have a pond yacht on it, but I got sick of that. Then I got some beautiful sort of long, skinny wood carving things from Palecek that I&#39;ve grouped on one side, but I need a pop of color or something and since the fireplace is so massive it needs to be quite large and I&#39;ve never really found the right thing. It&#39;s a conundrum that&#39;s for sure!The Impatient Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14166660410287418037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676517158511263328.post-70517768212394310222009-11-02T07:43:12.893-05:002009-11-02T07:43:12.893-05:00Love the fireplaces.
