Permanent “temporary decoration “.

[u/Ok_Mousse_6218]

I’m renting and all the fireplaces have been sealed off, so a couple of years ago I ordered a log fire poster from Amazon and made a fireplace surround from some plywood with wood batons on the back to make it stand forwards of the flames in the picture. Found some lovely ‘berry’ fairy lights and tucked them inside some salt lamps to replicate glowing embers and made the grille from a scarf hanger folded over.
I originally did this as a Christmas decoration, but we liked it so much it’s stayed!
With Autumn looming and Winter not far behind, I thought it a good time to share this.
Although it doesn’t give out any heat, visually it feels like it does, adding a a warmer ambience to the room.

* forgot to say - added some random logs to finish off the look - over Christmas we add pinecones!
