inadequate chimneys were put
in to allow for using those fire
places for wood. And so if you
hate gas logs, as most people
do nowadays, you just have to
go on hating, for you can't
make your fireplace burn wood.
Appearances Remedied
But you can improve its looks,
however unsightly it might be.
If the mantel is wood, but
ornate, you can tear off all the
gingerbread and paint it, leav-
ing it bare, but sometimes beau
tiful, with rather classic lines.
A nice coat of paint is often
all that is needed.
If you want to have the
mantel conform to some decora-
tive scheme, then tear off the
unnecessary decoration and add
nice pilasters, a tiny bit of
wooden trimming in the form Of
a scroll, a spray of laurel leaves,
or have just plain reeding,
which is always tasteful.
You may be reading with the
thought in the back of your
mind. :. But my landlord won't
let me tamper with the mantel."
That's true in lots of cases. ..
but there's something you can
do too.
A False Front"
Nearly all the furniture
stores, or furniture departments
of other stores carry ready-made
mantels that you can put right
over the mantel that is already
there. And, you can take it
from apartment to apartment
with you, always changing the
looks of your room.
Furthermore, if you want a
fireplace and haven't one. of
course you can't have the fire,
but you can simply put one Of
these mantels against the wall,
and have the appearance OF a
fireplace. They're so cleverly
done that your guests would
never suspect. And a mantel
does do such wonders to a room.
You can simply build your
whole decorative scheme around
one.
If none of these things work,
call in a good carpenter, show
him some beautiful mantels'
and see if he won't make you a
wooden shell to go over the un-
slightly mantel you own: and
if there's some. space left you
can't cover, put. fire screen
before it. You will need one
in front of a false mantel too,
to cover the wall that is left.

There is something seems to tell me,
