Diy Faux Fireplace Mantel Surround. I also chose to use 1/2″ plywood to cover instead of mdf. Due to the humidity here in hawaii, mdf doesn’t seem to last long, unfortunately.
I had an electrician add an extra plug on the wall where i was building my diy fireplace, which you ‘ll see below. Love this diy faux fireplace from ‘three clementines‘. While i didn’t want the expense of adding an actual fireplace, even an electric one, i did want the coziness that a fireplace surround could offer.
Every time it shows up on the blog or instagram, i get so many questions about it.
Added storage with a beautiful spot to decorate. Hopefully, by those images you can see how easy it is to build one for yourself. The only project we did here was to build a diy custom fireplace surround for the mantel. So thought the gas fireplace behind it is very real, the mantel and surround are not.
