You'll get a lot more suggestions if you post photos of your area and a description of your style and your budget.

You will; get NO help unless you do that : ) Stand back and from several angles and include FROM the fire, ans show the opposite direction as well.

I made pecan scones this morning. They were very good.

Hate scones, too dry : )

Then you’ve not had good scones- I’m married to a scone master. What are you doing on Boxing Day Jan?

Jan you have not had a good scone. But we need pictures.

Scones are sooo good! Orange cranberry or blueberry. Had some great ones in Scotland last summer.

We can supply you with pics of sconces all day long and not know if they work without a pic of the fireplace.

mmmmmmmm Normally, that is when my sister and I set our watches, and race each other to get Christmas packed up and out. Neatly stowed and text each other the pics. Then we clean like maniacs: ) .......pour a glass of wine, sigh THAN GOD!!! ..and then we each make a nice big steak, pour a glass and text that too lol

No we are NOT normal. Not at all. We are not "hang in your jammies" types lol

Uhhhhh Bagels with lox and cream cheese with capers....... beats a scone every time. Don't forget the red onion, and a squeeze of fresh lemon. MMM! WOW . haven't had that in a while , add to grocery list , Jan

Ok I’ve got a Jewish deli down the street where I can get you all that, but be here at five on the 26th for scones that will change your mind (not about the bagels of course, change your mind about scones!)

"Bagels with lox and cream cheese with capers....... beats a scone every time. Don't forget the red onion, and a squeeze of fresh lemon."

Yes! I do love scones but bagels with those fixins are WOW, for sure!

robinmdenny, sorry for the digression, but a pic would truly help.

Nothing will ever top the scones fresh from the oven with the clotted cream the proprietor was still whipping.... little tea room in Greta Green... ohhhhhh

OK. I WILL TRY sconces . At a little table, with tea please, with a crisp white linen cloth and tussie mussie in the center. AND IT BETTER HAVE GOOEY STUFF. and it better not be dry . It had better be the perfection of a ham sandwich in Paris... paper thin slice. a bit of cheeeeese and to die for bread. : )

Remind me of Churchill and his Dundee cake

Watch a totally fantastic movie !! ESPECIALLY IN THE TIME OF C VIRUS.

Jan.....you’ve been sheltering at home for too long....

Blueberry scones are the best. Why, I think I'll go make me some now! I got a great recipe online, making it with the traditional English method.
