Before (old log fireplace that didn't work). Toys would pile up on the bottom.
Ripping out the mantle and brick.
The bottom bricks were especially hard to get out.
Then Steve started building the boxes/bookcases.
Making progress.
Getting ready to paint.
All the painting is done.
Now putting them together and in place.
Both sides in.
Looking good!
Getting the ship-lap in and starting to build the fireplace mantle.
And the trim around the fireplace.
Now paint.
We got the electric fireplace in place!
Then the tiling. The boys helped :)
Tiling done.
And grout, another coat of paint, then decorated!
Toys can now be put away and hidden :)
And then Steve ran the electricity for the fireplace to the circuit breaker panel.
The fireplace is touch screen and remote control;12 flame & LED flame bed color modes;5 flame speed modes; 5 flame brightness levels. You can have heat or not. It's pretty fun!
Before
After!
After (lights dimmed w/ the fireplace going). Great work Steve! You have serious skills and never cease to amaze me! What started out as an idea on Pinterest became a reality! Thanks honey!
