A fireplace screen is one of the cheapest fixes for a bare hearth. This accessory provides dimension, interest and protection for little fingers (& pyromaniacs) that love the flame.
So here is our fireplace (yes, I have not finished painting the mantel - don't judge me) and I think the black screen sets off the slate that we installed for the surround and hearth. What do you think? I likie...
Before spells Danger!
