Faux...fire...

 We're starting to get some really cold temps
 here in Iowa, but I'm gonna make it a whole
lot warmer...I made me a quicky fireplace...

 I had this really cool buffet mantel I thought
would be a great fireplace surround...
I also had two leaves from an old table in storage...
so I just stuck them behind the mantel, then
washed them with a tan paint wash to match the mantel.

 I'll be looking for a pair of corbels to attach to
the mantel to connect the buffet top to the table leaves.
I also had this old wood stove out in my shop
that I've been wanting to turn into a candle stand...

Putting three candles inside puts out quite
a bit of heat out of the flew hole,
plus gives that glow of a fire that we all love
in the winter...using repurposed junk and
a bit of ingenuity, I got me some ambiance...

Well...here we go again...

Phase one...
My friend Lorie has opened a new shop
in Davenport, Ia.
an historic, newly renovated building
right in the downtown, where multimillion dollar
renovations are being fulfilled.

Of course I'll have a presence there,
with soaps and candles(made by my daughter)
and of course...FURNITURE!
