| We have a new faux fireplace! H has been sawing, nailing and painting all week! Isn't she a beauty! |
 |
| H made the fireplace from 2 ornate bedrails that I bought at a yard sale...a 53" piece of 2x12...and a piece of 1x8. The bedrails were 2.50 for both and with the additional lumber, paint, and nails, it was about $30. |
 |
| H cut the rails into 4 pieces....1 for each side and he put the two small pieces together to make the top of the mantle. |
 |
| I have decorated with some of my picture frames... |
 |
| You will remember this one that I bought last month at an estate sale for $3. |
 |
| I added some oval frames... |
 |
| and some candle sticks. |
 |
| I have some luggage that I painted white...yes, you heard me right...I painted it..not H!!! |
 |
| I put a vintage ceiling light fixture in the center of the frames to add a little more textUre. This will be my "basic" decor for the faux fireplace. I can add seasonal to the mantle without having to change everything out. |
 |
| Now, I'm sure you are asking yourself "where did H put this new fireplace" Well, I am getting ready to decorate the room and show you! Be back soon! |

PENNY!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are killing me with these fire places!! LOL!! It is the one things that I have no room for in my house!!
It is so grand!! Beautiful!! H has done a wonderful job and he truly is a keeper!! Joe is good but unfortunately, not handy. This is where I miss my Dad so much because he was able to build anything. After all, he built houses!!
Now you have me wondering where you have put it and what the room will look like!! I know it will be spectacular but curiousity is going to kill me!! LOL!!
Hugs,
Deb
Oh Penny....fantastic!!! It looks very very beautiful. The frames and the suitcases are such shabby...amazing! I' m looking forward to seeing the next!

Great idea and I love those frames within frames! I have a "thing" about art, but I am crazy about frames. Your oval ones are fabulous!

via Tweak it Tuesday.
Great redoux!! Love the final product. You will have so much fun decorating this!
ReplyDeleteI Love Love LOVE this idea. I'm house shopping, and while a lot of the homes have fireplaces, they're usually in the livingroom. I'm a little spoiled by my current place and its beautiful bedroom fireplace. How will I do my french/country bedroom without a mantel!? Like you did! How perfect!
