To soon? Yes, summer is just ending, but we're already thinking about cozying up to a roaring fire in the coming months. Here are a few inspiring ideas for the hearth, including one for an apartment, believe it or not....
Bold blue tiles pop against matte gray walls in this interior from photographer Paul Raeside.
Don't let a little thing like a "lease" or "legal ramification" stop you from your fireplace dreams. If you find the perfect one, stick it in and add some candles, like this one from Flickr Finds: Degerka's Orange Fireplace.
The painting averse could try a facade made out of boards, like this one found by the Young House Love crew at a local Anthropologie.

i agree with bepsf, #1 is my favourite. the rest are ok, although i fear #5 might bring on a seizure if stared at too long. but i do love #1.

Don't let a lease or legal ramifications prevent you from doing whatever you want to your apartment, you guys!
Seriously, though, this is a nice round-up, but that's just bad advice.

slowdown, I think they are trying to say that you can still achieve a fireplace feel without punching a hole through the wall and testing those legal ramifications.
I'm also with bepsf and polish chick . . WOW to #1!!
