I love this idea! The insert was brilliant! You'd never know it wasn't real!

@jennym4127 3 года назад

Looks good. Glad you painted the brick white!

@dadyarusski4594 7 месяцев назад

Absolutely agree ❤

The best fake fireplace I've seen so far, and I've been researching them for a couple of years now. One change/addition I would make to your genius project would be to build out the wall little wider than the mantle with 2X4s and drywall to extend the whole fireplace more into the room thus adding dimension. This would also take the mystery out of where the heck the wall studs were located. This addition would then also give the option of building "recessed" book shelves to flank both sides of the fireplace.

The easiest way to add real flames would be with a gel fire insert. They come in loads of sizes and have a little trough for the gel you burn. You don’t need an open chimney for these and they burn clean, no soot etc. We have one in our living room and it’s perfect. Not the most efficient for actual heat, but aesthetically perfect.

I was watching this with my three-year-old in my lap and he kept pointing out how much he loves the floors and the chairs. I know that has nothing to do with the fireplace, but I just wanted to mention it.

@FarmhouseonBoone 3 года назад

awe!

@kimk8365 Год назад

My house is 120 yrs. old and way back when there was some sort of a wood burner or oil heater. This is fantastic, I made a faux fireplace several years ago, and I guess you would say, artsy crafts, 😁 this is a great idea more realistic, and thank you.

@katrish786 2 года назад

That was a genius idea & I wouldn't know it wasn't original.

@julias259 3 года назад

Oh my word Lisa! This is such a beautiful compliment to the room. I love the authentic cover and character of your house. Thanks for another great video!

@asparrow5505 3 года назад

It doesn't look cheesy at all. Neat idea.

@evemaewill4 3 года назад

I like the painted brick, I actually think it makes the fireplace look more authentic. If it had actually been there 100+ years someone would have painted over the brick at some point. Agreed, the whole thing will ‘pop’ when you re do the wall colour. Looks gorgeous, well done!

Lisa, this is so beautiful! My mom and grandma also recently installed a faux mantels in their homes. Thanks so much for constantly sharing your wonderful ideas!

@ABCBom4thgen Год назад

This is the best fake fireplace i've seen. I would have purchased white brick though, and if you do want fire ever, add 10 in of depth and insert a bio ethanol fireplace insert

@natashadavies9569 2 года назад

So clever. And it looks fabulous.

@sarahouser3100 3 года назад

I only found you last month and I’m loving your videos. They have such a calm peaceful vibe in contrast to what’s running on TV, so I’m bingeing your playlist big time. And I really enjoy all the background music too.

Wow, it looks amazing!! I can’t wait to see some old fashioned Christmas stockings hanging from it. Love the work you both do . TFS😊😊

@helenyoung3217 3 года назад

Well done. It really has given the sitting room a focus now and as you say the warmth from the hall wood burner will filter through. Looking forward to seeing what colour you paint the rest of the room!

@phyllisanngodfrey6137 3 года назад

I have an old oak fireplace mantle in my living room which I just love. It fit perfectly between our front two windows. I also a have metal surround with no Summer cover. I filled mine with tile and the decorative metal screening you can get from the home improvement stores. What makes this special is that the mantle still had the old railroad shipping tag stapled to the back with the name of the person who ordered it (from N. Carolina) to my town of Lebanon, PA. Apparently, It was shipped as is with no packing material! I love it and decorate it seasonally.

@jaynebrown693 3 года назад

TOTALLY .... TOTALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO! This is just what I have wanted to do in 2 of my rooms! Now I know how semi- inexpensive it is and semi- easy...I AM SO EXCITED !! We have shiplap walls... so studs are no longer that “ find a stud in an 1880 house! “ issue like before! 🙏 This is beautiful and the style I would definitely try to achieve too!, THANK YOU for all the great information and wonderful details! You have made my day Lisa !!! ❤️❤️🍁❤️❤️

@wandas7913 3 года назад

Enjoying watching your videos. Love the fireplace. You mentioned for safety putting the screws in to keep Daniel from pulling it over on him. You said you would paint over them and they will look fine but here is an idea. Use a button that you like with a shank on the back so you can cut it off , paint it and use double sided velcro cut to size and stick that over the screws because it should be spaced evenly apart if in the boards behind. Or you could use sculpt and design your on for it. But, it’s still pretty just like that.

@carolynoquinn1638 3 года назад

Great job, Lisa. It looks beautiful. Christmas stockings-here they come!

@SweetAndSimpleHome 3 года назад

Such an awesome project! I love it! I've been scheming ways to get a faux fireplace in our new house... I'm with you on the mantle decorating!

@barbaraconnolly9000 3 года назад

I kept the geourgeous gunmetal colour that is restored when you sandblast old fire surrounds, I then found a product that was similar to that used in Victorian times. They did not paint fire surrounds or ranges, the cast iron was treated with a paste back then and because in use needed doing regularly.. Mine still looks stunning, I love it. My house is tiny terraced in London, 1900. I used same paste in Spain on my log burner. Sadly the log burner gets so fiercely hot it needs a Reno every year. I need to do that soon. If it wasn't so old it would be easier. I also cook in the top of my log burner, jacket potatoes, roasted veggies, and I can cook on the top of in pans., Yours does look cool, fits well.

@debrap947 3 года назад

Looks beautiful! I can imagine Christmas day around the tree and the "fire".

@georgiahodson8755 3 года назад

Perfect timing on this video! We just bought a 1898 Folk Victorian and this is exactly what it needs😍😍 Thank you

@donna8212 3 года назад

@curtainsup9 3 года назад

@nancydrew5 Год назад

That turned out amazing. I need one for my dining room.

@LorettaFontaine 2 года назад

Beautiful project! I just purchased a set - a cast iron surround and the matching summer cover. The summer cover is held, the top tilted back, and then pushed under and is inserted behind the surround. You push it up and then it plops down with the weight of gravity.

@Mike-tw1pi 3 года назад

Nice! One reason why so many are mismatched or missing summer covers was also due to scrap metal drives. The big hole in yours was from a conversion to a wood fired stove later on, you see that quite often. And there would also have been a grate that the cover would have sat on at the bottom which would have helped to catch coal ash. That may be why it seemed like it didn't quite fit perfectly, without that grate there would be a bit of vertical play in the opening. I have two bricked over sealed up fireplaces in my Victorian and am halfway thru a project to install frames and covers for an aesthetic look, just like yours. I had to settle for mixing and matching frames and covers, which has its own challenges with lack of standard sizes.

Wow! I'm blown away! It looks so authentic and beautiful. Excellent job! I'd like to try a craftsman version of this with tiles for my bungalow. Thanks for the inspiration Lisa! Also, the stud finder was probably confused because it was detecting Luke. 😉

That was sure amazing I personally made and bantle myself with the apron on the front of it down the sides put Z brick around it the Blackboard in the center of it to give it depth... Then I put a screen in front of it with glass doors and a great big frog with wood and a little rocking chair sitting in front of it it was the bomb when I sold that half the real estate agent says it's not a working fireplace .. I was thrilled that someone actually thought it was a regular fireplace ... it sure made the room look cozy I got a lot of compliments I love what you did show me more! LOL

I just finished watching your faux fireplace that looks incredible you guys just think of everything, Genius. I thought that you might have seen these incredible looking lightbulbs they sell them on Amazon and I think there’s five in a package for 1299 and honestly these aren’t those little flicker bulbs that you see but they look like an actual fire and I’m thinking how cool would that look behind that fireplace anyway great job
