fireplace inspiration

A friend of mine recently asked me what I thought she should do with her large cavernous fireplace she has in the middle of her living room. Its a beautiful fireplace, and did I mention HUGE? I love using fireplaces for other things than just "fires" particularly in the off seasons. The idea of storage strikes my fancy, or my particular fave, art galleries. A whimsicle display for favorite paintings, maybe some drift wood, and candles.

I think of them as secondary opportunities to display beautiful things. I had a plethora of images from Domino, and then I LOANED THEM OUT never to hear from them again, so here are a few I snagged off the web. Check out these inspirational photos!

Ooh--LOVE the idea of storing books in there...as long as you don't accidentally light a fire. Yikes!

Thanks man! The books made me laugh...then I saw the one with all the wood. I need to start researching.

Oooh...I like the one with the stacked wood. That's cool.

And I love your inadvertent comment about the Domino mags. :-) {BTW that STILL gets me, and they weren't even my mags.}
