What do I think about oak mantels? Well, I think many things about them. One of my thoughts is that it is nice to have something like that in your home, especially when the weather outside is frightful with all the rain and snow, and all you can think of is being right at home where you can enjoy warming yourself with a little bit of fire heat and warm drinks. It is during such evenings when I am especially grateful for fireplaces that can make such a huge difference in any home.
