I have posted before about my little fireplace project. Still fine-tuning the darn thing as I am trying to create something I am happy with. OK....here is the latest fix. See the colored tiles I have incorporated in the recess. I love them. Our wall color in this room is still not a color I love...but must live with it for now. Here is another shot of what I have done. Are you ready for the "rub" with these photos. The "tiles" are NOT tiles at all, they are some wonderful colored papers I cut from a book I own. Affixed them with Elmers glue and water and bingo.....looks just like expensive tiles. When I have to be inside I always put my thinking cap on and try to figure out how I can be creative in some way...without spending any "cash". The pillows on the sofa are old ones...and I simply pinned that little decoration on the front of the yellow one. Here is a shot of the room from afar...
