Or create a mini-jungle by stacking bromeliads in the opening. Line red amaryllis along the mantel for a special effect for holidays.
* If you would love the charm of fire in the fireplace without burning logs, use long and short pillar candles made of natural beeswax of various heights, beeswax is elegant and burns clean.
