Amazing job! Did you mount the TV on the orginal wall or the new drywall? Also, you built it on an exterior wall…does that mean the other side is outdoors? Thanks Leslie! I mounted the TV on the new drywall, not the original wall.

The fireplace insert itself sits flush with the wall, but when you put the finishing glass piece on, the glass sits on top of the rock.

Does that make sense? Hi Whitney, thank you for getting back to me. Did you line the stone right till the metal frame or did you Build A Frame For Tv Game leave space between the frame and the stone? I am concerned that the stone is not going to allow the glass to slide back on?

Did you buy corner stones or you just lapped the regular ones? Can you show a picture of how the edges look? I am wondering which route i should take, it would cost a bit more to use corner stones.

Use a builders square to check for squareness. Assemble the front of the fireplace surround on a flat surface first.

Like I mentioned in my video, assembling the fireplace frame while it was standing up was not the best choice. Next, attach the sides of the Build A Frame For A Large Mirror Difference surround frame. Add a back support at the top and bottom where the frame will rest against the wall. Use a table saw and rip each plywood piece to size. Cut and attach the left and right sides first. Add the front of the base piece next and the top last. The front piece will cover the cut edges of the left and right sides.

The top will be flush to all of the edges. Add the sides first and the front next.

Since I wanted a contemporary fireplace and one that complimented my craftsman window casings, the rest of my trim is the same as my windows, Finished Elegance.

Once dry, follow with a final coat of paint. I know this next part is hard, but…Allow the paint to cure for at least 24 hours before sliding in the electric fireplace insert! It looks great either way. Yes, this was a big project. Was it worth the work? You betcha! I love how cozy my Florida living area is now. Especially since it made the area just past the kitchen island a cozy retreat.

Adding a fireplace that complimented my craftsman style window trim helped my house look coordinated and decorated. Like window trim, and upgrading baseboards, adding a DIY fireplace to your home is an affordable upgrade that the average homeowner can easily tackle.

I loved it! Finished Elegance is a quality product that saved me hours of extra work on my DIY craftsman style window trim project and my fireplace. Do you have a place in your home that could use the coziness a fireplace would add?

I just need the measurement of the plywood cause you never mention the cuts for that. For the trim do I just follow the measurement of the width and length? Thank you. I hope that helps!
