Decorate your Fireplace at Christmas
Victorian fireplaces would like you to think about your own Fireplace and getting it prepared for the festivities.
Yes Christmas is just around the corner 29 day’s to that lovely time, that smell of the Christmas dinner being prepared, I can taste the smell of those mince pies wafting into the lounge where all sanity has gone, wrapping paper strewn all over the floor as children rip away to find what’s inside. Baffled Grand parents with new electronic games, Huge flat screen TVs blaring out the new xbox game,- lost instruction books, – damn no batteries!! – “I am going to walk the dog”.
Its a lovely time and no Fireplaces to think about, well only yours, the one to get decorated. Here is a link to a website I found that you might find interesting. Kirstie Allsopp and decorate your fireplace with these great decoration tips.

A bit of our fireplace history
It just seems like yesterday that I first bought a cast iron fireplace from a fireplace supplier, to resell on.
In the beginning I was buying and selling old Antique fireplaces and putting them with my own hand made pine fireplace mantels which I was making in the shed at the bottom of the garden. Because of our success in the first few years retailing and restoring our antique fireplaces we needed more quantities of original fireplaces. the problem in Lincolnshire is that it is rural. (not enough terraced houses) eventually the old fireplaces started to dry up and became harder to find in any great quantities, to sustain a proper income. So I made the decision to stop selling the antique fireplaces and concentrate on new reproduction fireplaces. so I went looking for a supplier of reproduction Victorian fireplaces. (more…)
