Remodel Includes: New Insert gas fireplace Built in book shelves Storage under benches False backs to hide wires PVC pipe to take wires to TV LED ribbon lighting
That’s some really nice work, AND good design. Got any mid-way pictures? I’m curious how you built out the wall to include PVC piping to hide the TV wires.
A great makeover! Now your fireplace has a refreshing concept and looks clean and neat. I really like the book shelves you have came up with and the storage benches are really practical in hiding the mess away. I have also read about the false back to hide untidy wirings but never had the chance to actually go through the step-by-step guidelines to DIY one for my house. Such a job well done! Congrats!

That really turned that outdated fireplace into something special.
Nice work. The LED’s really are a great touch.

What a difference. Nice work. Aren’t LED lights great? I would use them over most other lighting (for accent). Good job.

Giving a boost to the blah effect of the old fireplace! Great work!
