Someone posted a few days ago about passive aggressive things in-laws do while at your house. So I thought I’d share the life-sized fireplace my MIL stuck to our wall where she thinks something is lacking. Excuse the brown wallpaper, it came with the house!

  1. I think this is very enterprising activity under taken by your mother law for something that is, a joke? Or it is actually there as a comforting decoration?

    I think I like it, maybe this is the way forward.

  2. She has too much time on her hands, that said, I love the attention to detail.

    Why don’t you pop round to theirs and stencil up a set of bifolds.

  3. Well, somebody got a pack of felt-tip pens for Christmas.

  4. My neighbour* did this.

    *The teacher in the classroom next to me. I’m a teacher. In a school. The fireplace was in a school. This is so weird to do in your home.

  5. This is such a strange thing to do. How much free time do you have if u can do this 🤣

  6. Ha! I had neighbors years ago who put up an architectural salvage mantle and jambs in the living room of their apartment. They wanted a shelf in that spot, but thought it looked weird all by itself. Using that space as a fireplace made it blend in better, despite of the black painted firebox section having a large chintz rise pasted in there.

  7. I like it lol. I have a flat. I’d stick it up
