We are in the thick of winter. Although it’s around this time I start to complain about missing the warm sunny days (early, I know), it’s a great excuse to stay indoors and snuggle up by the fire. I have the cutest white painted brick fireplace in my living room that was in need of a fireplace screen. Finding the perfect one (screen 10!) took some time. I was looking for one that would be aesthetically pleasing while also serving as a great shield from the embers and my toddler who seems to be all over the place these days.  In my research, I found some fun, quirky, and beautiful screens.

When choosing a screen, it’s important to determine how functional you’d like it to be. Some screens are purely decorative and offer no protection, while others give full protection from the fire. The fun part is deciding what style will work best with your home. There are plenty of options out there that range from plain to ornate. Now all you need is a roaring fire, your favorite hot drink, and a cozy blanket!
