Old World Stoneworks September Newsletter

COMPANY NEWS: Introducing our new website!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new website! At Old World Stoneworks, we’re always looking for a way to better server our customers.  Therefore, starting in October, we have updated our website to include ecommerce capabilities. This means that our customers will be able to purchase their favorite standard sized mantels, range hoods, and overmantels directly on the website. Whether you decide on a Florentine range hood at 10 pm or an Avondale mantel at 2 am, you’ll be able to order right then.

While our new online ordering system adds a new, convenient ordering option for our customers looking to buy standard-sized products, customers looking for a more custom product needn’t worry. We will still be offering fully customizable products and sizing, just call to speak to an Old World Stoneworks associate about your needs.

In honor of our new website launch – A special deal just for you!

To celebrate the new website launch, we’re offering 10% off all fireplaces for the entire month of October! There’s never been a better time to add beauty and value to your home with our 100% made-in-the-USA product line.

Project of the Month

We’re still collecting before and after pictures from customers’ home projects. If you’ve installed one of our mantels, overmantels or range hoods, please send us before and after photos and tell us how it went. We’d love to feature your story in a future newsletter or blog post.  Checkout our latest additions to the before and after section featuring a to-die-for Stamford install and a mid-century modern Capri upgrade!

Give Your Home a Fall Makeover

Chilly nights, changing leaves and a certain crispness in the air means fall has arrived. It’s the season of pumpkin lattes and deep earth tones. Here are a few easy ways to bring more autumn into your home décor.

Fall Starts Outside

Decorating starts with your exterior. How about a festive harvest door wreath, or pumpkins arranged on your porch steps? A string of orange lights looks autumnal, and adds extra luminescence for those dark fall nights.

Plump it Up

Cold weather calls for extra softness and coziness. Adding some big orange or golden pillows gives your home a rich autumn look and takes almost no time. It’s a lot faster than reupholstering! Add a plump bolster for lounging in front of the fireplace.

Setting the Table

So many holiday memories involve sitting at the table, so make sure your tablescape is memorable. Natural elements like branches, pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn and antlers are perfect for fall. Choose metal accents in warm colors, like copper or gold rather than pewter or silver.

Paint an Accent Wall

For a splash of color, paint an accent wall. Red, gold, or other fall-friendly colors are perfect.  Use online tools to get an idea of how the wall will look before you paint it. We especially love Behr.Com’s Project Visualizer.

Firelight

As the nights get shorter, it’s time for candles and fires. We love thick, pumpkin-scented pillars, red tapers and classic white tea lights. Arrange them on your mantel, then build a fire and watch the flames dance.

Your friends at Old World Stoneworks love autumn! If it’s time for a mantel redo, give us a call and we’ll help you make the most of the season.

And don’t forget: On this season of “This Old House,” Old World Stoneworks will be providing a beautiful fireplace mantel to help renovate a home built in the early 20th century. Don’t miss out!
