Much as we love to sing in the shower or dance while we wait for the microwave to ding, we can’t all be on “American Idol” or “Dancing with the Stars.” But with a little help from Old World Stoneworks, your home’s fireplace can resemble your favorite celebrity fireplace. Let’s peek at a few of our favorite celebrity look-a-like mantels.
Lionel Richie
A singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, Lionel Richie has wowed audiences since the 1960s. The Commodores launched his fame, but his funk and soul stylings soon developed into the romantic ballads for which he won over many swooning fans.
His home design is also opulently romantic. And what’s more romantic than a cozy fire, a Lionel Richie album, and somebody you love? We love Richie’s mantel, and think it looks a lot like our Berkley fireplace surround. Pair our Berkley with the stately #9 Overmantel to complete the look!
Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart is another singer-songwriter best known for his long solo career. The British-born Stewart has performed hits like “Maggie May” and “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” all over the world. At home, Stewart opts for the ornate and romantic, with swooping draperies, a fainting couch and a dreamy European fireplace which closely resembles the straight lines and carved designs of our Palermo mantel.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
You might expect the star of Keeping up with the Kardashians and a rapper extraordinaire to decorate in an over-the-top style. But the fireplace in their master suite is surprisingly understated. If you favor a mantel with simple lines, we recommend our Montgomery.
Xtina
Also known as the “Princess of Pop,” Christina Aguilera has been on both Rolling Stones’ list of 100 Greatest Singers of all time, and Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. Plus she’s a UN ambassador for the World Food Programme. To top it all off, we at Old World Stoneworks believe she has excellent taste in mantels. Set a pair of zebra-upholstered chairs in front of our Devon fireplace surround, and your living room will resemble Xtina’s.
Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson just announced that she’s finally making another album after taking some time off to spend with her young children. She’s built a deluxe new recording studio in her home, allegedly to spend more time with the kids. We at Old World Stoneworks suspect that she really wants to stay close to her toasty fireplace, which looks something like our Capri.
Stephen Curry
All that time on the basketball court requires serious couch time to recover. Especially if you’re perhaps the greatest shooter in NBA history. Wardell Stephen “Steph” Curry II of the Golden State Warriors can attest to the relaxation that only a fireplace can bring. His mantel reminds us of our Stoneleigh.
At Old World Stoneworks, we may not be celebrities. But we have a gold-medal talent for matching our customers with their dream mantels. So if you’re ready to get that celebrity look in your home, call us today.
