False fireplace insert

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.
