CUSTOM MADE: Yes, it's worth it

Finding a fireplace screen to replace the hideous folding thing our house came with proved impossible. We needed something the fit better than the prefab brassy mess we inherited. 

INHERITED MESS

I searched and searched for anything close to the dimensions we required and found nothing. It soon became clear to me that we needed something custom made. 

I found this website:

And chose to contact Mr. Dante Garganese III in Vermont and his workshop, Iron It Out:

I picked a style I liked based on his previous projects, I asked if it could be modified a little, I sent some photos along with our dimensions and he responded right away with a cost. 

THE NEW SCREEN WOULD FIT UNDER THE LEDGE ALONG THE TOP OF THE FIREPLACE 

It took less than one month and I could not be happier with the result. 

Having a screen that fits might sound trivial, but it's safer, it's more attractive and it frees up space in front of the fire for someone to sit and get warm. 

Worth every penny
