The next few days here in New York are supposed to be wildly snowy. So aside from the bevvy of blogger/magazine launch parties this week, I'd love to be bundled up next to the fireplace catching up on the online glossies. Which brought me to the question that most readers ask me...
"how do I decorate or style my fireplace?"
I am always a huge fan of artwork above the fire, something extraordinarily beautiful to gaze at.
Mirrors work too, they open up the space and with beautiful ornate framing can be a lovely sight.
A combination of both art and mirrors can work extremely well too.
I especially love this purple room and how to use architectural elements (ie. graphic molding) to create a beautiful look with amazing style.

I basically saved every picture on this post to use for inspiration for my future home. I was telling my husband how much I love your posts and style and I'm going to make a book based off of what you talk about so I am prepared when we finally buy a home :)
You're fabulous!!
i love that striped hot pink, grey, and black rug. like a lot!

Stay warm! I love the look of mirrors above fireplaces, such great pics here:-)
I agree, love your style and the inspiration you give to all of your readers. I would love to have a fireplace. Hopefully, the next home I live in will have one!
Hey i just found your blog through blog lovin. I love it! Your apartment is beautiful! i'm off to check out more of your blog!
I'm brainstorming right now for my own fireplace! I have no idea what I'll do yet! I already have mirrors in the same room so I'm guessing I'll go with some art!
1 and 7 win my vote,
Stay warm.

Hello Ashlina,
This is a very interesting post! It is so important that the decoration on a mantelpiece is done well because it is the central piece of a room and indeed you have to pay attention to the choice of the most suitable accessories to decorate your style of mantelpiece!
Great post!
