How did you babyproof your fireplace?

Question by eml: How did you babyproof your fireplace?
Do you have a hearth gate or did you just put padding around the hearth to protect your LO from the edges? My LO is 8 months and is just starting to crawl. We have a stone hearth that is about 1 inch above the carpet. We plan on using the fireplace a lot this winter and I was wondering if it was worth it to invest in a hearth gate or if we should just get rubber bumpers for the edges of the hearth. What did you do and how did it work for you? A hearth gate is about $ 180 and I was wondering if it was worth it.

Q&A: what color walls goes with a green marble fireplace?

Question by jpertello: what color walls goes with a green marble fireplace?
the fireplace has white wood trim and green marble. It’s a pedestal type fireplace (a foot up from the floor). The large room it’s in adjoins a kitchen with dark cherry wood and dark green granite and stainless steel appliances. So what color do I do the walls? There’s also a large French door so the room gets plenty of light. And has a medium color red oak floor. Someone who knows how to decorate, please help!

A very nice deep burgundy goes great with most greens. And since your room gets lots of light it should not make the room appear to much smaller.

Q&A: How do I keep my 1 year old off my fireplace?

Question by smmbcw: How do I keep my 1 year old off my fireplace?
My daughter just turned 1 and has quickly learned how to climb. She can get up on the brick hearth of my fireplace. I also have built in shelves with lots of knick knacks. How can I keep her from getting up onto the hearth, without spending hundreds of dollars in special gates?
My hearth is also about 8 feet long.

Make it clear that its not allowed and also buy some gates. I am sure you can find some that are not expensive and it will be worth the money so that both your daughter and your fireplace remain intact.

Warm water and 409. Let dry, then use Windex same as you would on a window.
