A Problem Shared: #1 How to dress a fireplace


Interior problems and "if money was no object" solutions

Disclaimer: *To most normal people (those who don't consider Elle Decoration an educational reference tool) the problems below may not seem real problems that require fixing. For the rest of us who live for design, colour, decorating (and shopping) read on and please comment as I would love your ideas!



Exhibit A Our beautiful but sadly naked gas burning fireplace. It's in desperate need for some love and attention and a way to disguise the ugly wires. The tiling is a moss green with deep mauve flowers and the metal work a dark bronze finish. It's my favourite thing in the whole house and feels awfully grand (too grand for us!). We've only used it once for dinner with our friends and it blasts out heat which nearly warms up the icy wooden floor.

The last photo is my personal favourite as it screams 50's Denmark but I love how these photos show a mix of simplicity and beautiful clutter!
