If you love this look- the Christmas season is the PERFECT excuse to pull this into your abode.... after all, where are those gorgeous stockings going to hang?
stacked plywood stained different colors... the imperfections are lovely!
Here is a lovely before and after from Oodeedoh.
I just love, love, love this image... the all white faux fireplace with the contrasting antique chair with touches of bright teal is such a lovely contrast.
again, gorgeous and done SO well...
wowwie. zowwie. I would love this faux baby in my abode...
Here is the great "how to" from Vintage Revivals. I love this mantle, the top rustic piece adds such a nice touch, also the fact that it is resting on a "crate" is fantastic, it adds height which makes it seem all the more realistic! If you can believe it, this faux fireplace is made from recycled cabinetry! Check it out!
This is a great way to do a faux fireplace... mirrors fix all... also, this room feels much bigger and brighter thanks to this mirror!
So gorgeous... this is a great way to display resting art on the ground- what a lovely little space!
Love this... glued wood slices, super smart.

ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful idea! Love the first picture! I'm greatly considering this for the living room. Have a gorgeous day, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteWe suffer from a home with no mantel. These are fabulous, so many I love! That bathroom is divine! Love the crate one too!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is pretty amazing! We have been longing for a fireplace but apartment living in Chicago doesn't accomodate that too often. This is a perfect solution though! Love that first pic!

Great pictures! Mantels provide a focal point and warmth in a room, even if they are non-working fireplaces.
ReplyDeleteThis is proof that where there is a will there is a way! I'm a huge fan of candles in a fireplace (whether the fireplace is real or faux...I do that during the summer for a chic look.) Fun post.
ReplyDeleteFor years the hubs and I lived in houses that didn't have a fireplace, so we made our own! We actually used a lot of these same pictures as inspiration! Great Post:)
