Take a window sash and turn it into a cool fireplace screen! You can see it does have a mirror like quality as there is a subtle reflection that blocks from seeing inside the firebox.

The goal here was to build a faux log stack facade that you can remove when you are ready to use the actual fireplace, and replace the next day once the fireplace was cool again. The screen would give the depth and perception of a bunch of stacked wood, but really it would be just a few inches thick and somewhat easy to pop in and out. What a cool idea!
