Simplify your Fireplace

Here it is...your typical fireplace mantel... But really, who wants typical?
I can assure you that this couple did not. They wanted a contemporary design that would not compete with the exitsting strong design elements in their family room. The mantel needed to make a statement in the room, but not overpower it.
  • The first picture is the "BEFORE" photo.
  • The second picture is a glimpse at what the sketch process to transform the mantel looked like. There was some "massaging" that occured between this dwg and the final cut. So, if you'd like to make your fireplace mantel look like the one below, DON'T copy the dimensions in this sketch. They have likely been changed a little here and there prior to construction.
  • In the third picture the new mantel is revealed!
  • The fourth and final picture captures a little more of the space. The new sleek fireplace mantel will live very happily in this room! It has a great impact on the space in a very understated way. It draws your attention but doesn't demand it!
Are you ready to change your mantel up? We can help!
