| Candles are one of the best ways to add romance, so I have a large cream candle on each of the fireplace "pillars". H added a dimmer switch to the matching chandeliers on each side of the fireplace ...another way to add romantic lighting! |
 |
| This is a faux fireplace, but I am able to add a glow to the opening with just a simple light behind the vintage heater. |
 |
| Roses and cherubs also add to the mood..... |
 |
| Since this fireplace is in the dining room, I used tea cups and serving pieces in the decor..... |
 |
| Here is a close up of the framed tea cups on the left side of the fireplace....just in case you might want to make one. Look for a frame, some dishes, buttons, and pearls at a yard sale and you can make one for very little money. Saving money is a wonderful way to put hubby in a romantic mood...lol! |
 |
| Do you see my pink light bulb in the right corner of the photo? Pink light bulbs have a very romantic glow...love to use them! |
 |
| I have odds and ends dishes and some depression glass displayed on the etagere's that are on each side of the fireplace .......another idea would be some wedding keepsakes to add to the romantic mood. Or, some romantic Christmas decor...just thinking ahead.....tehee! |
 |
| Decorating doesn't have to be expensive. The flowers that I used on the fireplace were a yard sale find....all for $4. Here is the link to that post........http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2013/10/rose-pretties.html |
