What If I Don"t Use My Fireplace?
You can use the following tips to keep your fireplace beautiful all year round without every having to start a fire or clean messy soot from your home.
If you're not going to light a fire in your fireplace, you can put almost anything there.
Plants are nice addition, whether in a pot on the mantel, or larger pot that sits where a fireplace tool set might go.
You can use artificial ones if you want to leave them there or real ones as long as you are going to water and take care of them.
In the fall, you can create a autumn vegetable theme with plenty of pumpkins, gourds and other fall items like Indian corn or husks.
Carved pumpkins work, as do Halloween or Thanksgiving decorations.
Add height by stacking them on top of upside down baskets or simply fill a basket for an easy display.
Use pine cones in the winter for a cozy display.
A nice big basket of them will not only look nice, but they'll smell good too.
When Christmas comes, get some poinsettias, and if you're in the mood to be daring, get some that are big enough to fill the fireplace.
These look great in the winter and add a holiday feeling hard to find elsewhere.
Don't just stop with the red; look for white ones as well to add interest.
Want to add a touch of summer to your fireplace? Try going for a bit of tropical flair.
Some driftwood, seashells and even some sand will all add a beach like feel to your fireplace when you can't get away to the beach.
Fresh flowers are always a beautiful choice and they look great in the fireplace no matter what the time of year.
It's easy; pick your favorite flowers, get creative and have a beautiful display any time you want.
If you want a little bit of flame without the hassle of a full-blown fire, consider a candelabra.
You can light it when you want; it's easy to put out, and it doesn't leave the same mess you get from a big fire.
In addition, a candelabra is beautiful, and adds a bit of flair to your fireplace.
No matter how you choose to decorate, your fireplace is there; you should make the most of it by dressing it up every once in while.
Use your fireplace, you will love it.
