False fireplace insert


otterine

Since my fireplace is only for show, I made a flat brick insert from egg carton bricks instead of a firebox.  I glued the bricks to a paper grid and then cut the insert to fit.  Before installing, I painted the bricks Neutral Grey and then used spackling for the grout.  I didn't want any color to clash with the fire screen, which is black and gold, and the grey brings out the marble detailing.  I used a piece of thin cardstock to attach the brick insert to the fireplace.

I think this will be lovely with the baseboards and fire screen installed.  I'm not sure I need a hearth since there will be no logs or even candles.  More on that to come.
