It doesn\u2019t have to be a pricey masterpiece either, as a DIY wall art crafted in the artist in your family will do the same trick.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 100; margin: 10px 0px; font-size: 24px; color: #666666;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Showcase Your Magazines<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"review-body-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.goodalemillerteam.com\/blog\/fireplace\/fireplace3.jpg?resize=396%2C508&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"fireplace3\" width=\"396\" height=\"508\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; vertical-align: middle; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\/><br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">A thoroughly cleaned fireplace would make a nice home for a nice stack of magazines that you can\u2019t bear to part ways with.

Maybe because it signals the start of the cold season, or perhaps because it can remind us of the joys of having a warm roaring fire when it\u2019s snowing outside. Ah, the simple pleasures.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 100; margin: 10px 0px; font-size: 24px; color: #666666;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Fill with Flea Market Finds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"review-body-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.goodalemillerteam.com\/blog\/fireplace\/fireplace5.jpg?resize=396%2C508&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"fireplace5\" width=\"396\" height=\"508\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; vertical-align: middle; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\/><br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">An old trunk, some old candleholders, whimsical birdcages, or antique trinkets all look equally good displayed in a fireplace.

Be warned though that real plants will probably not last in an unused fireplace so using high quality faux plants would be wise.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 100; margin: 10px 0px; font-size: 24px; color: #666666;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Transform into Recessed Shelving<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"review-body-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.goodalemillerteam.com\/blog\/fireplace\/fireplace9.jpg?resize=396%2C508&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"fireplace9\" width=\"396\" height=\"508\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; vertical-align: middle; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\/><br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">With a little bit of DIY skills, you can install some shelving inside an unused fireplace for an unexpected way to store books, knick-knacks, and what not.
