Faux Fireplace

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We still have

leftover pumpkin and pecan pies! We took two pies to our son's house

and our daughter-in-law also bought three.

That's a pie per person! I swore just one piece for me.

really!

Who was I kidding?

I want to show you the faux fireplace my dad built over thirty years ago. His

home is in Florida where you rarely need a fireplace, most of the older homes

were not built with one. When I lived in Florida we would occasionally

turn the air conditioner down really low and then turn on the gas

logs just for the ambiance.

I am so excited to start decorating the mantle Christmas.

Sorry about the poor quality photos. For now I am using my little

point and shoot camera.

The concrete fireplace was built using miscellaneous architectural pieces

salvaged from many different places. The insert is a antique coal holder

and the hand painted tiles are 19th century.

Steve and I decorated a small tree at Dad's house yesterday, tomorrow

I will tackle the mantle.

The Open House party starts Wednesday evening and I hope to see you there.

Take care.

Sherry
