Christmas fireplace...


Yes, I know... Christmas is long past gone! But I wanted to share my big Christmas project with you all!


We had recently moved to this apartment and my daughters were upset that there was no fireplace to hang stockings on. So we decided to make one! This was definitely one of my more ambitious projects but fun to make nevertheless. The structure is made of styrofoam, all of which was covered in brick wallpaper. For the "fire" portion of it, I bought a ready made flame lamp (you can find them online) and surrounded it with real logs. You can actually make your own "fake fire" (check out http://www.ehow.com/how_2009963_make-fake-fire.html), but I felt it was easier to just buy it...


To finish it, we decorated it with lights and Christmas decorations. It was beautiful!!!
