In the past, the hearth was a gathering place in many homes, providing warmth for the house and heat for the cooking of daily meals. Today we refer to it as a fireplace where we can create a traditional wood-burning cove or a modern fuel flame. Either way, it is a focal point that creates ambiance and romance.

So what do you do during the spring and summer months? Here are a few ideas to maintain its focus in your room.

My favourite: A fireplace is meant to burn wood. Filling the entire space with stacks of wood creates a beautiful graphic and textural element. Change up the size of the wood to quartered logs for an alternative look.
