I apologize in advance for ruining your last days of summer with a mention of stacked firewood, but I just can’t help myself. At this very moment, the look on your face is probably the same look the Home Depot associate gave me when I asked for 12 bundles of firewood in the midst of 90 degree heat. Luckily they had a pallet stored in a shed and sold them to me for $1.00 per bundle! Nice!
I used the wood to fill my clients’ unused fireplace as a part of an ongoing design project. Hopefully, I’ll soon have more photos to share with you. Here’s a progress shot below. She has two little ones that couldn’t wait to cover themselves in the soot left by the previous homeowners [see inset] so I had to act fast. I absolutely love the results.
If you actually plan to use your fireplace for a purpose other than storing wood, the option below would be a better fit.

I'd try it, love the rustic artistic look of it.

$1 Don't you love that price? I love looking to nature for inspiration. I may consider doing that with my fireplace since I won't be using it this Winter, but I prefer birch instead.

I would definitely try it! However I love using fireplaces, so my fave look is the one via Houzz with the monochromatic neutral scheme! Very calming!
