I have a fireplace that has a real brick chimney outside, so the mantle is essentially against the wall, with the fireplace box going back into the wall. I would like to do this process over the mantle to the ceiling.<br />But I am unsure if it will look funny since the planks wll be flat on the wall over the mantle. How would I finish the planks on the sides? Or should I build a 2 x 4 box away from the wall and then plank that so that it will have at least some sides? I hope you can understand<br />my question and I would love your opinion.<br />Your project looks wonderful and Id really like to try this.Shelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-3723248857181959202020-11-11T08:25:55.753-05:002020-11-11T08:25:55.753-05:00Are the side cabinets pre made and you simple cut ...Are the side cabinets pre made and you simple cut and added trim to the middle?

It might just be the photography, but it looks more powder or periwinkle blue next to the gray of your fireplace. Have you noticed that? Rugs are hard and I know you've made lots of rug changes in the past. Something warmer with some gray, gold and beige tones in it might work better now. Just wondering.

Am so blessed impressed. Love that wall with how you did the tv, good thinking ahead.<br /> I've heard so many different opinions on having a tv above a fireplace.<br /> If we could I'd love to do that but we don't have a fireplace and way our room is laid out with door ways, windows, pretty sure it wouldn't work. I like to change furniture around now and then also so don't think it would be doable for our living room.<br /> Sure enjoy seeing your room so handsomely turned out. Bravo.
