I thought I'd do a little post about my fireplace. This was a dark brown and black brick before I took the paint brush to it. The mantle was oak. I love it now that it's fresh and pretty, but the black and brass doors have always been distracting to my eye!!
I have been brainstorming on how I might hide it in the warmer months when it's not in use. I thought if I ran across some old shutters I could screen it that way. Well, Luck hasn't been on my side in the shutter hunting department. Then it hit me. I have all this old fabric lying around...why not hang a curtain of sorts?!? So, this is what I came up with. I just draped it over a tension rod and VOILA!!! It's not my favorite fabric. I will eventually replace it with a more appealing toile or something a bit lighter for summer, but I'm just so happy I finally solved this decorators dilemma!!
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!! I'm enjoying 70's and sun!! Yipeeee!

Jen, what a great idea! We, too, have that shiny brass on our fireplace. I do have access to old shutters so now you've given me something else to think about!
Jen that is adorable! You always come up with such great ideas.
That is great! I love the white around the fire place.
have a great weekend...amy xx
hi, that is absolutely gorgeous; if you were closer i'd give you some shutters, i have a ton, really :), i also have a hydrangea screen for in front of a fireplace, i tried to use it in my sons redo, but he hated it; go figure. it's really cute, it's made out of wood & it's bluish hydrangeas in a basket, theyuse them to cover the opening in the summer, it looked cute, but he's not into cute :( hope you're feeling better, we're quite a pair aren't we LOL
your right on track, jen! that was simple yet pretty.

How very clever. I like that fabric...no need to find better.
When Madi was first diagnosed with diabetes last month...one good thing...I couldn't eat a thing and lost almost 10 pounds which is usually very hard for me. But glad you are feeling better...it stinks to be sick.
So cute, Jen!
