Add an Artful Screen to the front of the fireplace
The owner had a piece of stained glass art a family member had made. What to do with it. They decided it would make a great screen for the fireplace. I built the frame and stand and the stained glass slipped right in.
It is also very easy to take any design pattern or scene and turn it into a screen. No need to look at the inside of your fireplace when it isn’t lite. A decorative screen really adds to the room and hides the ashes you didn’t clean up yet.
