Re: Elegant Christmas Fireplace

Top heavy.

 

The lamps do appear to be as tall as seen.  I'm gauging the size against the back of the chair off to the left.

 

The decorations would be stunning on a larger scale fireplace. 

 

This fireplace doesn't *fit*.  If you look at the entire picture, the left of the fireplace juts out in an odd corner and it seems the right side comes out farther into the entryway.  (That would drive me crazy)

 

Again, very pretty decorations.  All of them.

 

Are there shoes lined up against the wall in the background?

Re: Elegant Christmas Fireplace

This petite, carved fireplace is a gem, and the oversized, fussy decorations overwhelm its graceful curves and carvings.  (Would love to see what the top of the mantel itself looks like.)  The small trees on the floor seem like afterthoughts to fill up space. What a waste of a charming and elegant focal point.

Love the fireplace, love the deer, and all the greenery.  The lamps are too tall and formal for this whole setup.  They just plain don't go.

Yes. I spotted the shoes too. Maybe they’re out for St. Nicholas Day, Dec, 6? 🤔🤣

I agree about the lamps, NOPE.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they remind you of a similary lamp shade on the "leg lamp" on the movie A Christmas Story?

 

I don't like the very ornate fireplace.  I do think the decorations are very nice & festive.

The height and fringe shades are similar.
