We took our boring, builder-grade fireplace
and gave it a total transformation to make it feel a little more special! Here are the details on how we got it done (if you’re curious about the mantel, it’s a DIY project! Click here to see the full tutorial).
Here’s a peek at what our fireplace looked like beforehand – the tile was pretty ugly, the mantel was way too high, and there really wasn’t anything special about it. We started by removing all of the tile and replacing the drywall behind it.
After building rustic picture frames out of some scrap lumber,
we designed a unique way to hang them on our dining room wall. Iron pipe is affordable and easy to find, even at the local hardware store!
This is a simple project that can be completed in less than a day and materials cost us less than $50!
