What? No Fireplace? Well then...I have just the idea....

We like a nice fireplace at our house. If we had one, that is...don't know why we didn't think of this so much sooner. My husband and I found an old gas "fireplace" for 20 bucks at our favorite antique place. I knew in an instant what I wanted to do when he pointed it out, and it was this:
Then at night, it looks like this:
I will most likely add a lot more candles as soon as I get to the store to buy some of those clear votive holders....but I thought this was pretty darn nifty. I also like the idea of filling it with old bottles of singular flowers. You could even fill it with mason jars of fresh flowers, or it can be decorated with greens for the holidays...or even some old glass balls and white Christmas lights bunched up inside of it. Lots of different things to make it your own.
