Hi Mixicon, Have you sold the mantles yet? I am interested in the second one, the white & gray one. I tried to email you but it bounced back. Please email me: mimosa626@yahoo.com. If will pay cash. Thank you.
Ok updates with dimensions added, sorry for the delay.

The pocket door pictures (sorry only camera phone pics, I can get better ones if you are curious):

Pocket doors are 33″ x 100″ in pretty decent condition, but could use a sand/refinish.
We actually will likely have a second set of doors that match the pocket doors, but are standard hinged doors, if anyone is interested.
To those mentioning that it will decrease the house, I get what you are saying, but we’re designing the house for us, not for future sales, and we’re looking for a more open space on our parlor and are looking to minimize the walls on that floor. All things being said, I do believe that our renovations will increase value and long-term attract buyer’s as well, perhaps a different taste in the buyer though.
As for removing the mantles, the house has 4 mantles, we’re looking to remove 2 and keep 2. We like them, but we’re looking to manage space and in a 17′ wide house, the impact of 1′ of mantles is appreciable, and our design taste in those rooms is going a different direction as well. All that being said, we’re not 100% sure on selling them, so we may just keep them and find a way to work them in as well (especially if the selling price is inconsequential, which it may well be).
Please feel free to email house@mixicon.com with any questions as well.
Thanks all!
Hi, I am interested in one of your mantels. I have been looking for one for our pre-war apt. Would you please email me the dimensions? mimosa626@yahoo.com
The difficulty would obviously be getting it out and moving it; I may have a guy who can do it.
Bob said it well.
Also, I just have to add: Those pocket doors are incredibly convenient for controlling noise, heat, and cold. They are really, really great. Super functional. I have never slept so well as in a bedroom with pocket doors closed. Though from the size of yours, I presume this is a parlor.
Our upstairs ones are missing, and as a result the rental apartment rents for $200 a month less because it can only be used by a couple rather than three unrelated roommates.
Do you have photos of the doors? orr.susan@gmail.com Thanks
You’ll be reducing the value of your house by vastly more than whatever you could sell these original details for. You’ll also be doing a great disservice to future owners. That being said, it’s your house and you can do whatever you like, but please consider the consequences.
I’ll get detailed dimensions tomorrow, I do know the max width is 62″ but don’t have the others handy.
The pocket doors are each 33″ wide and 100″ tall.
Could you post or email (lydon.john51@gmail.com) dimensions? thanks
Have you tried to remove the marble yet? Not a easy process and the marble can easily crack. I wold a similar mantle for $300 when renovating but the buy removed it (took a few hours)
