Starting 2018 Off With a New Year Sale on Mantels

We hope you all had a memorable holiday season with loved ones surrounding you. Our favorite holiday tradition is lining up the stockings on your fireplace mantel, as it puts mantels in the spotlight – just where they belong! To help you ring in the new year, we’re offering a 10% discount on all cast stone fireplace mantels all month long in January!

Here’s our Roman mantel surround, one of our latest designs, all dressed up for Christmas on the left. On the right is our Capri No Cap surround

Our very own General Manager, Mike Jung, upgraded his living room with our sleek Capri fireplace mantel.

Is your new year’s resolution to revamp your home? Here are our top picks for 2018:

Art

If you know somebody’s taste really well, surprise them with that perfect piece to go over the mantel. Of course, tastes in art are very individual. Instead, you might gift that special someone with a trip to go art shopping and let them pick out their favorite painting or print.

Overmantel

Maybe your loved one already has a nice mantel. But how about an overmantel? These ornamental structures or panels date back to the Old World. In France, they were originally called trumeau, carved from stone, and served as a smoke chamber. At Old World Stoneworks, we keep up the tradition, making a variety of cast stone overmantels.

Our Overmantel 10 would make a great addition to any living room.

Fire tools

Sure, you can buy a set of fire tools at the Home Depot, and that will be a nice gift. But if you want something really special, we recommend either an antique set or one made by a traditional artist. Here is our new Hamlet Firescreen:

Soon we’ll be adding 5 hand-picked collections that include coordinating fireplace screens, mantels, toolsets and log racks. Below is another sneak-peak at the new fireplace accessories, our Sienna Firescreen.

Aroma Stone

People who enjoy fires are generally sensual folks who like warm skin and good smells. An aroma stone hangs by a hook from a fireplace screen. Add a few drops of essential oil to the stone, and the heat of the fire wafts it through the house. You can order one made by Goods of the Woods through Amazon. Pine, cedar or cinnamon oil works nicely with the hearth’s ambiance.

Range Hood

Installing a range hood instantly improves a kitchen’s air quality and atmosphere. Range hoods remove excess heat, provide additional lighting, make the air cleaner and generally improve your property value. This is sure to thrill the chef’s out there.

It may be too late to gift items for Christmas. But a new range hood or mantel to start off the new year is just as good. Let us know if we can help.
