National Barbecue Month is in May and to celebrate, O'Malia's Living has a another new promotion. A few weeks ago, O'Malia's sent a ripple through the industry by announcing a first of its kind "7-Year/Any Reason" grill trade-in program. Today, O'Malia's introduced a Try It Before you Buy it program on Solaire infrared grills. 

Infrared grilling is something new that your weekend griller may not have experienced. Infrared grills cook at an extremely hot temperature and are great at fast, sear-type cooking. It is the same method employed by high-end steakhouses for juicy steaks, chops and more. 

The program is simple and easy. Visit our showroom and work with one of our Design Consultants to learn more about infrared grilling. Then sign-up and we will deliver your test grill to use for 10 days. No other retailer offers a similar program. 

The benefit is you can make the right decision whether you like it or not. "Infrared grilling is different and requires practice. Once you've mastered it, the process can deliver extraordinary and delicious results," said Brad Renner, Store Manager at O'Malia's. 

O'Malia's Living announced a program today that disrupts the retail grill and barbecue industry. Any grill or barbecue purchased at O'Malia's Living beginning today is eligible for a 7-year, Any Reason trade-in towards a new grill, including damaged or dirty grills! No other retailer in the country is offering this program. 

When you buy a grill from O'Malia's Living, you have the peace of mind that if anything happens, you change your mind, you outgrow your grill and want a larger one...whatever the reason, you can come back to trade it in within seven years! The trade-in process is simple, too. You simply select your next grill and we will take back the old grill. No questions asked. "You can drop your grill off the second floor balcony and we will still accept the trade-in", say Scott Horvath, Owner of O'Malia's Living. 
​
Terms and conditions do apply. Families can only trade-in once and the original grill must have been purchased from O'Malia's Living beginning May 1, 2024. The full list of terms is available in our showroom. ​

The offer is available for any grill or barbecue sold at O'Malia's including the Big Green Egg, Fire Magic, Twin Eagles, Solaire and more. 

For 60 years, O'Malia's Living has been known for customer service and a high-quality experience. in 2023, O'Malia's was the first retailer in Indiana to be nominated for the prestigious Apollo Award by the International Casual Furnishings Association. The family at O'Malia's continues to innovate and be a leader in retailing. ​

For the last decade, outdoor kitchens have exploded in popularity. It seems everyone is cooking and entertaining outside. O'Malia's Living has been a leader in design/build of outdoor kitchens. 
​
Today, O'Malia's is introducing a new product. Outdoor bars constructed from high-density polyethylene which is simply, recycled plastics that is formed into dense lumber. Don't be fooled, this furniture is heavy and not like the plastic furniture of the past. Better yet, these bars and furniture are constructed right here in Indiana and custom made to your specifications. 

"For some families, the outdoor kitchen may not be a good fit. Perhaps you would rather entertain with your neighbors and friends instead of being stuck at the grill", said Scott Horvath, owner of O'Malia's Living. The outdoor bar delivers a lot of storage and space for snacks and drinks. Plus it can be built to many sizes. 

A new feature for 2024 is fire! O'Malia's Living is known as the fire experts in central Indiana and they have come up with a way to install a fire feature into the bar counter. Additional options include a lighting package and umbrella brace as well as a wine glass hanger. 

Color options can be mixed and matched with additional options for inlays. Corrugated steel panels have been a popular option. The image below illustrates a unique configuration with over 14' of counter space for large entertaining. 

Lastly, you can add to your collection with additional seating, a pair of rockers, planters and more that all match and bring together the space. The outdoor bar collection by O'Malia's is a 2024 Best Buy! 

Sometimes it is the small things that make the biggest impact. To kick off National Barbecue Month, O'Malia's Living is profiling the Blue Rhino Propane Carrying Bag. The bag retails for $24.99 but the price is worth every penny. 

This bag straps in with your seatbelt. Safety first! No more propane tank rolling around in the back of the car or truck. The bag also keeps your car clean. No more spiderwebs, dust or dirt on the seat or floor. Plus, the easy carrying handle makes the walk to and from the car easy. 

No more trash bags! The Blue Rhino Propane Carrying Bag is a winner.

O’Malia’s Living Selected for 2023 Mary Fruehauf Retail Genius Award
Namesake Award Recognizes Creativity, Excitement and Fun in Outdoor Living
 
HIGH POINT, N.C. – The International Casual Furnishings Association (ICFA) gave this year’s Mary Fruehauf Retail Genius Award to O’Malia’s Living, https://www.omaliasliving.com, in Carmel, Ind. The presentation was made during the ICFA’s Educational Conference in Nashville earlier this month.
 
The single-unit retailer was lauded for its unique hand-crafted decorative accents placed throughout the store’s outdoor furnishings displays created by a longtime employee. About five years ago, Pat Flatley expressed interest in stepping away from her administrative role and utilizing her more than 20 years’ experience in the floral and corporate decorating business. Owner Scott Horvath set up a 1,500-square-foot laboratory stocked with acrylics, table linens and pillow covers. He says, “The result has been an opportunity to dress up our collections in an ever-changing way that keeps us fresh and looking great.”
 
The award was established by the ICFA Retail Council in 2017 in memory of Mary Fruehauf, whose Colorado outdoor furnishings store was known for its imaginative visual merchandising and entertaining promotional events.
 
All ICFA retail members were invited to compete for the award by sending information reviewed by a team of judges, who included industry veterans and close personal friends and colleagues of Fruehauf: Mariah Maydew, who succeeded her as president and CEO of Fruehauf’s in Boulder, Colorado, Cathy Galbreath-Buzbee, owner of ABSCO Fireplace & Patio, in Birmingham, Alabama, and Brian Lawrence, president of Emigh’s Casual Living, Sacramento, California.

The sassy plexiglass trophy was previously presented to Village Green Home and Garden in Rockford, Ill. twice; The Fire House Casual Living Store (now rebranded as Viridien) with stores in Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C. plus a store in Greenville, S.C.; and Great Gatherings, formerly with stores in Virginia and Maryland.

The International Casual Furnishings Association, based in High Point, N.C., represents manufacturers, retailers, sales representatives and designers of outdoor furnishings plus suppliers to the industry.
 
O’Malia’s Living, based in Carmel, Ind., is a 55-year-old retailer of high-quality specialty fireplaces, grills and patio furniture with installation and service of fireplaces and outdoor spaces.

A gas fireplace adds convenience and beauty to a home but opens a safety concern especially if the gas is accidently turned on or a leak forms. This is why having a damper clamp is important. This simple c-clamp device attaches to the damper via a thumb screw and leaves a small gap for gas or fumes to travel. 

It is also referenced in building code through the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) via 211.9.9.1.  Therefore if you home or structure lacks the proper clamp, it can result in the gas being shut off, fireplace tagged or may result in a delay of a sales transaction. Ironically the clamp is generally sold for less than $10.00. 

It is rare that such an inexpensive device results in extraordinary safety benefits but the damper clamp is exactly that. Protect your family by checking your gas fireplace today. 

We love fire! From fireplaces to fire features, O'Malia's has everything fire including candles. Milkhouse Candles are made in Iowa. These small batch beauties are sold in hundreds of scents. O'Malia's Living is the newest retailer of Milkhouse Candles. We have a large display of seasonal and popular fragrances in a wide array of sizes. 

O'Malia's has a variety of gift items for outdoor living, grilling and for the hearth. One of our favorites is the seven pound patio party candle. This 5-wick monster has a fragrance theme around floral including jasmine, magnolia and orchid flower along with a light hint of citronella. 

Stop in our showroom to shop our collection of candles, melts and warmers. You might be surprised with what you might find.
