🔥 Two Fireplaces. One Beautiful Transformation. 🔥
When this homeowner reached out, she had two builder-grade rough cedar mantels—one in the sitting room just off the kitchen and another in the main living room.
Both mantels had started to show their age.
❌ Splitting at the seams
❌ Builder-grade appearance
❌ Rough cedar texture that constantly snagged dusting cloths and cleaning rags
❌ Difficult to clean and maintain
She wanted something that looked better, felt better, and fit the style of her home.
Our solution was to design and build custom mantel covers that would slide directly over the existing mantels—eliminating the need for costly demolition while delivering a completely new look.
Each mantel was handcrafted from select pine, chosen for its beautiful grain pattern and minimal knots, then finished in Minwax Honey stain, creating the perfect balance of warmth and character.
The result?
✅ Two completely transformed rooms
✅ Smooth furniture-quality finish that’s easy to clean
✅ Warm, timeless appearance
✅ Custom craftsmanship built to last
✅ No more snagged cleaning cloths
What started as an outdated builder-grade feature became one of the most eye-catching elements in the home.
The homeowners told us the final result exceeded their expectations—and that’s exactly what we strive for on every project.
🔥 One upgrade. Two rooms transformed.
📩 Thinking about updating your mantel? We’d love to help bring your vision to life.
