Living Big~Small Digs~Cozy Budget
Here are some ideas for what to put in fake fireplaces. Above, a sculpted bust and sea art lends a bit of the unexpected.
Ah, candles. Abundant candles! Imagine how that would look at night.
Ingenius! Shelves.
Paintings. Why not?

As you can see, I moved the TV away from the front of the fake fireplace.
The inside of the blank fireplace wasn’t so pretty. So I thought: Now what?
I left the red bench across the front, as it’s been there since I moved here a year ago. Then I walked around, shopping the house, as we are all famous for doing.
And my eyes landed on this shelf that was in my office space. I think it was made by the same people who made the bench, which I got from an antique mall in Texas. I put it here. And then thought: How about the sides?
So I started stacking favorite books. Then it was time to decorate. And I came up with the small white stoneware pitchers I so love.
So many of you suggested I move the TV to the side. So that’s what I did. What do you think?
