Inspiration is in the Fireplace
Via Decor8, I’m in love with this idea of filling a non-working fireplace to the brim with wood. As the weather gets cooler here in the big city, I’m looking longingly at our own decorative fireplace. Even if we can’t enjoy the heat from a real fire, there is something warm and wonderful from the wood in these. Whether we could procure the required volume of logs, much less carry them up to our third floor perch, is another story!
I poked around the web and found a few other takes on this idea:

we use our fireplace but if we didn’t, this would be perfect. i love wood/rustic + clean lines and white or silver– the photos above are just what i love.

Yeah, me too. I loved those fireplaces at Decor8, so glad you found some more! It’s refreshing to have something raw from nature indoors like that, I like the simplicity of it. Thanks for sharing!

I really like the fireplace full of round pieces of wood; love looking at the grain. Maybe I could send you down a couple with “tap hole” marks in them. Wouldn’t that be cool?!

I find this disgusting. There is nothing wonderful about chopping down wood simply to put it in a NON-FUNCTIONAL fireplace, where it will go to waste. At least let someone else who can burn it have it. Especially in the first picture, all of the furniture is metal and particleboard mass produced junk, with what could make some BEAUTIFUL furniture stacked uselessly on the side…sigh.
