We’ll soon be cozying up to the fireplace as the temperatures dip. Add on the need to create some calm moments in our lives throughout the winter season. There are plenty of fireplace screens available through retail resources, but who wouldn’t want to grace that need with a charming fireplace screen that is custom designed?
The special screen pictured in front of the gorgeous stone fireplace is one of a kind, created by James Moseley of The Heirloom Companies.
Moseley tells us that most of their custom jobs start with the “napkin” approach, which has ideas being sketched until something grabs the client and a “that’s it” falls into place. This fireplace screen came to fruition while talking with his client about love for gardening and the outdoors. “I suggested a walk through the garden and two hours later I had lots of ideas to be incorporated,” he says.
The design and craftsmanship created a truly unique work of metal art.
Resting on the mantel is another stunning work that features gifts from Mother Nature.
Hand-woven baskets and twigs form an appropriate display that works in tandem with the screen, the reclaimed wood mantel and the stone fireplace. It can be attributed to the talents of Asheville artist Matt Tommey.
