We aren’t necessarily ready to think about mantles yet but a lot of people ask about them. We don’t really have to match exactly what was there but most of the wood in each room is a certain species. The picture that shows the original mantle is from a realtor that had the house listed years ago. The opening for the tile is 42 inches wide and 36 inches tall. If someone sees one that is being thrown out or something, let us know.
I will definitely keep my eyes peeled. Are you guys wanting to have something as large as the one in the picture? I would imagine with the size of the rooms that a larger one would look best.

We think trying to match the wood color and style of the trim in the room is more important than the size.

Some of those are beautiful. We have seen enough around locally that we probably won’t need to drive to Nebraska to buy one. =)
