I don’t know what it is, but I totally have a thing for fireplaces! I think they are fascinating….not the fire part, but all the different ways you can accessorize them! Yeah I said it. I actually had a woman come up to me the other day, and she said “I have a design problem”. Well, in my head I was thinking…”bring it on!”, I love a good design problem.
She explained that she has a formal living room in her new house with a non working fireplace. She wanted to find a solution to make it a feature of the room, much like art would be, without spending the money to get it up and running again. I thought it was such an interesting idea, and it really got me thinking of all the different and creative ways you could use a fireplace, without having the fire! ENJOY!

I like how you’ve shown that fireplaces don’t always need to serve their original purpose to be meaningful. Turning them into shelves, art displays, or even seasonal décor gives so much character to a room. Reading this made me think about the balance between creativity and practicality. You can style a fireplace in many ways, but having the right support, like the kind of care you’d expect from fireplace services, really makes those ideas last. It’s a nice reminder that design can be both fun and functional. Thanks.
