10 WAYS TO GET YOUR FIREPLACE SPRING READY

It's finally getting warm in our neck of the woods {I hope it is as well, where ever you are}. I seriously miss the coziness of a fireplace, especially since we haven't had one for the past year. Ugh...what I would do to have one! But for all of you lucky readers out there with a fireplace, here are some ideas on how to keep your "hearth" still be the focal point in this wonderful Spring {and Summer}.

1. Place a mirror against or inside it...after all, the reflection of that gorgeous rug is just amazing!

2. Place live plants  inside and around it.



3. Turn it into a bookcase. Who needs more storage space?





4. Let candles aglow inside it.




5. Stack up some logs. Before you know it, it's Fall again.




6. Have a vignette of vases.





7. Display your favorite finds inside.





8. Surround it with sea life.





9. Put a beautiful bench in front of it.





10. Use a painting as a fireplace screen.
