Hi there! Are you getting ready for Christmas?? I have been non stop it seems and just need to slow down time to take in my favorite time of the year. I think I say this every December.
I'm sharing a quick and so simple fireplace screen I made in less than 5 minutes with 2 items! Our fireplace is big, and in when it's not being used, it can look like a big black hole in the family room. I love a nice wood stack fireplace. I admire a wood slice screen, I just don't feel like making it!
I stumbled on the best solution: Contact paper.
Okay, honestly, I was thinking it would be a bust and I would just chuck it. But I love it! Of course I had to remove it to use our fireplace now that it is FREEZING out, but it will really look nice in the warmer months to come. I can envision this on a faux fireplace as an inexpensive way to add texture and dimension as well.
I measured out my fireplace opening and cut a spare piece of cardboard to fit the space, then adhered the contact paper to the cardboard.
Done!
Here's the big black hole before...
Here's the after...

I bought this roll from Amazon for about $25.
