Vintage Ceramic Gas Heater

I just love these vintage ceramic gas heaters,  in fact,  I have bought a couple of them to place in the openings of our faux fireplaces in the bedrooms.   When this little beauty came up for sale at the auction....nobody wanted her!   All of the bricks were gone and they aren't worth much in that condition.

I could see possibilities......maybe repurpose....something!

So, I bid $5 and brought her home.   She has been patiently sitting in a corner out in the garage since last summer.   I asked H to bring her in this morning and gave her a dry brush of cream paint and sat her in front of the fireplace in the family room.   Our fireplace had been converted to a gas log fireplace when we moved here and we very seldom....never!.... use it.

I don't know if you had noticed,   but I am using a wedding dress as a fireplace screen....if you look close,  you can  see the bodice and arms across the top of the opening. 

I made a little nest for these two marble eggs out of a milk glass piece and some strands of pearls.

I am working on a Easter theme to put in our new little heater,  so you will see her back on the blog with a new look closer to Easter.

It is warm here in New Mexico today but the wind is terrible.    I am so congested from all the dust and pollen that I think I will  just  stay inside today.......another pajama day....Yea!
