I'm currently typing up my feature story for my journalism class (mine is about a local diner) (also, We had to go observe our person or place for the story.), and I'm not sure what word to put in this sentence to make it...complete.
"She takes it to a table, passing the ______ fireplace."
The fireplace I'm talking about is like not a real fireplace. It's this fake thing that looks like a real fireplace with a fire burning. What word would I put in there?

Could you say something like
"She takes it to a table, passing what appears to be a cozy fireplace, but is in all actuality just a decoration that is not real."
Just a suggestion :-)
GOD BLESS & good luck

makeshift... faux... decorative... or mock
any of these three will work.
faux sounds nice if it is a good looking fireplace.
makeshift sounds humble and sturdy.
decorative does not imply anything... just decorative.
mock sounds cheap and irrelevant.

Go with mock.
