Not everyone has a fully functioning fireplace, and even if they do, not everyone uses it. So why not use that extra space and do something fun with it?
Now we all know that fire wood belongs in a fireplace, but how cool does it look when you stack it up without any plans of burning it? I love this look, it keeps the true feel of the fireplace while giving it a different twist.
Better Homes and Gardens featured this fireplace idea and I have to admit that I wondered why I don’t see this more often in homes. What a great way to add some more shelves for storage, not to mention that this fireplace now has a completely different look. Very fun for the homeowner looking to do something a little different.
How about using your fireplace as a different kind of bookshelf, as shown in the next two photos. The first photo is from the Kate Spade Pop-up shop in London. And even with so much going on around the fireplace, the books are definitely a focal point.
I saw this fireplace in Country Living and loved that the books were stacked to the tippy top. The use of color is great too.
So what do you think? How about using that fireplace from now on!
