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)

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
