Installing a Fireplace Mantel | This Old House

From the creator

In this video, Inside the Concord house, Charlie Silva and interior designer Meghan Shadrick are going over the design of the kitchen fireplace mantle. They're using a white oak rustic beam Charlie has been saving in his shop for years. After sampling a couple of templates for sizing, Meghan decides on a profile that she feels is more proportionate for the space. Charlie, Kevin O’Connor and Mark McCullough install the mantle. To accentuate the wood, Mark corrects problems with the existing brickwork on the fireplace. SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse. Where to find it?
