I want to take the insert out of the cabinet and build it into the wall. I want to build a brick mantle around it. Does anyone know how I would do this? I would like to do it on my own, because I would like for it to be a suprise for my husband when he comes home (he works out of town, so I have 3 weeks to do it). I know how to do the brick work, just not sure how to do the insert part. Thanks

The one I have is a rather large oak one with brass trimming and has a black marble top mantle built on it in one unit. I want some nice classy(but not too expensive decorations to go on the mantle. So, I need some ideas as I am not certain what the "norm" is for how most people decorate their mantles.

My family room has traditional British hunt scenes and I have a large oil painting centered on the wall over the fireplace. On one side of the mantle, I have 2 antique brass candlesticks and a cherry wood desk clock. I used to have a green plant in an old Limoges flowered pot on the other side, but it died. I would like to do something other than a plant, but it has to be at least 10 inches tall. The mantle is natural oak. Any idea?

I have just installed & mounted a new 42" flat panel tv above my fireplace. Since it is a High Definition tv my cable company requires me to use a cable box in order to receive the HD signal. However, now I can’t figure a good place to put the cable box. Where could I put the cable box without it looking out of place or awkward? I thought of putting the cable box in another location within the room but the only outlet for the cable wire is behind where the tv hangs now. (it s a brand new home and the cable was wired to this location specifically for a flat panel.) The fireplace does not have a mantle either.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Can you help me find it? http://www.topfireplacesreviewed.com/im-looking-for-a-tv-show-that-aired-in-january-2007-that-featured-a-patio-makeover-can-you-help-me-find-it.html http://www.topfireplacesreviewed.com/im-looking-for-a-tv-show-that-aired-in-january-2007-that-featured-a-patio-makeover-can-you-help-me-find-it.html#comments Tue, 18 May 2010 05:37:51 +0000 Fire Places

It was a single woman who was ready to move because she didn’t have any privacy on her backyard patio. They ended up putting a screen-wall in between her patio and the neighbors. This screen-wall was different because they built in a fireplace-look to it by putting a stained glass window above a mantle and then bought a fireplace front to put under the mantle. In the "faux" fireplace, I believe they put that wavy glass. On both sides of the "fireplace" they built the wall out but left open spaces in between the frame for her to hang outdoor lamps. They bought the fireplace front at an antique store I believe. It was a beautiful way to get privacy and yet have a unique look of a fireplace.

Will the heat or flue cause problems? http://www.topfireplacesreviewed.com/should-an-lcd-tv-be-wall-mounted-directly-over-a-gas-fireplace-will-the-heat-or-flue-cause-problems.html http://www.topfireplacesreviewed.com/should-an-lcd-tv-be-wall-mounted-directly-over-a-gas-fireplace-will-the-heat-or-flue-cause-problems.html#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 12:10:02 +0000 Fire Places

I just bought a new condo with a gas fireplace in the living room, and I’m purchasing a 40" LCD-TV for the space above it. However, the fireplace has no mantle, which leads me to wonder if the heat escaping upward from the fireplace will shorten the life of the LCD or worse.

Also, will the installer be able to route all the cables and power outlet behind the TV properly, even with the flue directly behind? I imagine with masonry/wood-burning fireplaces, this is less of an issue, since the flue is set back deeper.

Thanks in advance for advice from anyone who’s been in the same situation!

My new wife and I have moved into a medium apartment.
We’re looking for a great fireplace that utilizes gel fuel (for ambiance) and also emits auxiliary heat. Also it should be a nice piece of furniture – mantle style or bookshelves attached. thank you for your help!
