What's hanging over your fireplace?  |
|
 I have absolutely nothing hanging over my fireplace at the moment. I don't know whether to hang a painting or maybe a clock, or buy a plasma tv to hang over it. My husband is dead set against putting a mirror over it as he says it's a dangerous idea. Someone might go to admire themselves and lean in too close to the fire.
So, what have you got hanging over the fireplace?

1.  rachelcaron (893) | 3 years ago |  3 photos in frames. The one in the middle is 8x10, on the sides are 4x6s. My son's picture is in the middle. On the left is my husband and son on Halloween and on the right is me and my son at the pumpkin patch. We also have 2 candles on the corners of the mantle.

| BittyBiddy (1083) | 3 years ago | What do you have cubby? A stove, electric?
We don't often light the fire as it's so messy but I think we'll be lighting it more often. We have gas central heating which has just taken an enormous jump in price. It's ridiculous. It is now costing approximately 120 euros to heat the house for a month. | |

| 3. design (659) | 3 years ago |  I don't like anything over fireplaces, I have a sculpture on my fire place which is quite high so there's no room for anything else, Thankfully as my Partner wanted a mirror (must be an Irish thing, mirrors over fire places?)
| |

|
|
| BittyBiddy (1083) | 3 years ago | Maybe it is an Irish thing. Most of the houses I've been into here have had a mirror over the fireplace.
One of my grannies had a wooden panelled surround on her fireplace and she had different brass ornaments and carved faces hanging around it. One of the faces used to scare me. Maybe she put it there on purpose to keep small kids away from the fire. | |

| BittyBiddy (1083) | 3 years ago | Now, if I had something big like that that I wanted hung up, I might place it in front of the tv or the fridge where someone is bound to come across it and have to hang it up. Either that or you could pounce on the first DIY type visitor that calls to your house. | |
|
|
| Alexandria37 (4536) | 3 years ago |  Thank you BittyBiddy. Your ideas are always so funny and helpful. I will try putting it in front of the tv, but knowing my husband, he will just say, "By the way, I put that mirror behind the sofa as it was blocking the tv screen".

|
|
| BittyBiddy (1083) | 3 years ago | That reply made me laugh Alexandria. I can just imagine.......... | |

| 6. patgalca (6010) | 3 years ago |  We have a gas fireplace that has built-in book shelves to the ceiling on either side. In between is a mirror. Because the mantle is so high, and the gas fireplace sticks out, no one actually uses the mirror to look at themselves, unless they back up to the other side of the room.
A nice painting would be ideal if you can afford one big enough.

|
| BittyBiddy (1083) | 3 years ago | I'd love to have book shelfs beside my fireplace. I have hundreds of books and nowhere to put them. | |

| 7. missyd79 (2891) | 3 years ago |  i don't have a fireplace. though eventually i would love to have a house with one in because my parents have a house with one. now they actually have a fireplace with a mantel and my mom has a bunch of differnt antiques on the mantel.
| |
| |
|
|
| BittyBiddy (1083) | 3 years ago | Yes, we have a mantal and I have a few antique fans on top of it. Actually, maybe I should get a big frame and put the fans into it. Now, there's an idea. | |

|
| BittyBiddy (1083) | 3 years ago | I didn't think of hanging a clock over the fireplace. And there would still be room for photos too if that's what I did. | |

| 9. MakDomMom (1625) | 3 years ago |  We have pictures of the kids hanging over the fireplace. I love being able to use that space for displaying wonderful photograhs of my sweet babies.

|
|
| BittyBiddy (1083) | 3 years ago | Another vote for the photos. I'm thinking it's a nice idea as people's eyes are naturally drawn to the fireplace which is the centrepice of the room. | |

| BittyBiddy (1083) | 3 years ago | The photos are certainly appearing to be very popular. | |
