Interior Designer's Romantic XMAS / Summer Fireplace GRATE set- fab with candles
Interior Designers CHRISTMAS & SUMMER Fireplace
GRATE arrangement
I really don't want to sell this set, as quite special, but have no hearth grate to put it into! '-(
Some cones are commercial with tinted ends - gold sparkly paint on them. Some just have highlights of gold paint. Looks lovely.
These are great with tealights, or tiny candles in Holders- give the effect of an open fire, in summer. Romantic!
Also some either side of the grate, sitting in little candleholders
XMAS TIME- add the red candles- looks great when unwrapping present
SUMMER TIME- can swap the red for the gold with gold or white candles. Lovely at night. Put some either side of the grate as well.
1 set of dainty natural birch twigs & pinecones- some GOLD TWINKLING highlights for Open Fire Grate- some tinted gold/sparkly
Included-
1 set from an open fire grate -
- fine real dried birch twigs- you put them in first
- then layer:
- 1 very large cone (250 x 150)

You can use the gold or red candles in between the arrangement or on the sides of the hearth. It gives a lovely effect.
