I Made A Vintage Headboard Into A Custom Fireplace: DIY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- I bought this, stored it for years, then tried to sell it, and then tried even giving it away. No one wanted it. Finally, I gave in to the fact that this was mine for good, and decided to repurpose it into a custom fireplace surround/mantle for a new relaxation room I'm creating for myself.
I had to build a frame and front panel for the electric insert I bought, making sure to follow all of the recommended thresholds as outlined in the manual. Even though this isn't real fire, these inserts need room to properly vent. I tried to do this as economically as possible, using up scrap bits of plywood and MDF left over from other projects, and some solid walnut offcuts.
While there are some things I'd probably do differently were I to do this all again, overall I'm please with it, and I'll be sure to send along updated photos of it once it's installed in the new room.

Taking the mundane and crafting a centrepiece - "The Art of Angie". 👍
Thank you Tony!! ❤️
This really brings back memories. We never lived in a house with a fireplace, so for Christmas my Mum would remove the free-standing (no rails) bookcase headboard from one of the bedrooms and turn it into an ersatz fireplace for the "Rumpus Room". Since the headboard was returned to the bedroom after Christmas she did her transformation with brick patterned paper, a long board for a mantle shelf and the 1950's electric fireplace (the kind with red light bulbs and a little fans that to make the light flicker) that had traveled with us from house to house. A nice memory for Mother's Day. Thank you.
Lovely. 🧡
I love your Mom!❤
Clever mom! Thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful memory! She sounds like a great Mom!! ❤️
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery She certainly was! One in a billion.
Oh my gosh....it catches ones breath..... Incredible idea Angie. You never disappoint. ...thank you so much for the beauty you have created for us. ❤❤❤
You're very welcome!! 😊
Great review/comment and so true!
Thanks
What she said. And welcome back. ❤❤❤❤
@TranscendFurnitureGallery I have an intact bedframe with a bookcase headboard which was my grandparents' bedframe and they had put speakers into the doors.
WOW that all, just WOW!
You should do more of these. That was an unexpected project. I love it
Thanks so much for watching!
Yes she could sell these!
If I walked into your room with the nice fireplace, I would NEVER guess the surround had a former life! It's a totally successful repurpose project. Beautifully and tastefully done. Hope you enjoy it. You're the BEST!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
One of the reasons I love your channel is how you don't give up on making a piece the most beautiful it can be. Your eye for detail gives your pieces so much elegance. I have said before, your videos are educational in the art of woodworking and restoring. It would be a privilege to have one of your furniture restorations in my home.❤ You're an artist Angie😊
Ditto!
Wow, thank you!
After your comment about pressed wood I'm starting to change my mind about it. I still heavily prefer solid wood but I now realize it's about understanding the purpose and using the right techniques to refinish them. 6:30
I used to feel the same way, but once I learned to veneer and laminate, I fully embraced high-quality plywoods and MDF. For some purposes, pressed wood is simply better. For instance, real wood is not as good as MDF for speaker cabinets.
You could never talk “too much” in a video, what you say is always interesting. You are the first maker I have heard explain the actual point of dedicated pocket hole screws, for instance
I'm so glad you're enjoying my content! 😀
Love this quote from R. Buckminster Fuller. I live in a geodesic dome home which was designed by him. In the 1960s my husband met him after he gave a lecture to one one of his college classes. Great designer.
So cool!! We donated our son’s old bookshelf headboard to a local furniture flipper, who turned it into a mobile bar for a local restaurant!! Every time we go into town for an event, we always seek them out and tell the story again. You’re so creative and it looks just so good. Well done!!!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Relaxation room sounds like a great idea! that's why I worked on my garden recently.... anyhow, lets continue watching ☺
I can’t emphasize enough, how happy and also relaxing it is to see your new video, Angie. For me it is late Sunday evening, right before the start of the new working week, and your videos help me relax and prep for a good night sleep. Writing this before even finishing the video, I know that the final result is going to be beautiful! Seeing a wreck being put back to life produces some kind of special furniture seratonin, I guess 😊
And she’s got such cool tools! That circular saw reminds me of one I had some 40 years ago - not “small”; but just the right size for me!
I couldn't agree more with @manolaisvalaikis1185. Seeing how you redesign and repurpose different pieces is an exploration into creativity. I watch a TFG video before I go to sleep each night. Very soothing and a nice dose of positive energy. Thank you for all the effort and time you put into sharing your passion.
Thank you so much for this incredible comment! I really appreciate it and I'm so very glad I can help you get some good sleep. ❤️
Angie, it seems that everything you do is golden. Fabulous!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Well, I feel relaxed just looking at it! You did a great job, as always. For some reason, I can imagine a sweet kitty curled up in each side!!! 😺
Oh I think they'll really enjoy the fireplace. 😊
Great idea. And it was a super item to begin with had you elected to use it as a headboard. I'm 75 yo and love watching you young ladies repurpose real wood furniture. You all are so handy with tools, not just paint or varnish. I hope other young homemakers are watching and learning.
Thank you kindly! 😊
We are building a new/garage shop - Angie's videos are my tutorials for starting to do my own projects (in a couple of months).... love these videos so much! Signed a girl who used to only work on spreadsheets... ;-)
This truly fits your remit-keeping items out of landfill. Couldn't give it away, seemed destined for the dump. Instead, you repurposed it beautifully. I think your artistic background helped with the idea and your refinishing skill brought it to fruition. You should look at this with great pride. The final product looks like it was always meant to be this way. Congratulations!
Thank you so much!! ☺️
This brought back memories. My sister and I shared a bed like this.
You had an excellent idea!
What an amazing piece you made from this old headboard!!
I'm so glad you like how it turned out!
Multiple project self - I wish I lived close to you so I could have purchased the headboard off of you. And it would still be collecting dust.
UA-cam watching self - Thanks for sharing such an amazing repurpose. Cheers to your relaxation room.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I love the detail you have where you thank the people who’ve sent you things. It shows how much you appreciate your followers.
I appreciate each and every one of you!!! ❤️
Of course I made it all the way through. No one in their right mind would miss your handy work. Great way to save this poor lost useful piece of beauty!
Thank you very much! 😀
That is beautiful. My Grandparents had a bed set with a headboard bookcase. It's great to see one repurposed into something so soothing.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Wish I had the headboard myself! Saw some on line under $200 and will get one soon. Bookcase headboards are where the cats sleep if it’s too warm to snuggle in bed! 🐱
That's awesome. Good luck in finding what you want.
That sad old piece that no one wanted, found a new lease of life in a lovely warm home. Brilliant job Angie!
Thank you kindly! 😊
I really don’t know why I am surprised every time when you make over a piece that looks like crap and suddenly it’s unbelievably beautiful. I’m flabbergasted again!! Spectacular! Can’t believe how very wonderful this turned out.
Wow, thank you!
That is absolutely beautiful. Love the black with the wood. And that little pop of color is great. Never been disappointed with any of your transformations!!!
Wow, thank you so much! 😊
You continue to amaze me with your vision and artistry. This turned out gorgeous! It’s so funny because I have one of these bookshelves headboards sitting in my storage unit. It belonged to my grandparents and I can’t make myself give it up. So, it sits, waiting for inspiration to strike.
I’m also so excited because that Odie’s walnut stain is exactly the color I need for a piece I’m redoing.
I'm glad I could help! 😊
I'm so glad that nobody else wanted the headboard.
It was waiting for YOU to come up with an idea to create something out of it.
I'm guessing that about 60%+ of the furniture in your home is one of a kind.
I love it, Angie! 🤟
Thanks! 👍
You're most welcome!! 😀
What an amazing idea for a renter who wants a fireplace, this project is so creative - and beautiful!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love your vision and the result is beautiful. thank you for your inspiration and care. xx
You're most welcome! 😀
I love this idea! I have a very similar headboard that got painted white. Not sure what's under that paint but the rails are long since broken and I think the footboard is MIA. I really like this idea of repurposing it into a fireplace.
You're such a clever girl!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I love the Bucky Fuller quote. The man was a visionary.
I just love how you take something and make & turn it into something else. Great video Angie❤.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
WOW. The headboard brings back childhood memories for me. What a beautiful transformation.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
What a creative solution!!! This looks amazing!!
Thank you so much for watching!
WOW - enjoy the peaceful time in front in your elegant fireplace.
Thank you, I definitely will!
Binging on your pleasant and beautiful work, both the videos and the woodwork and learning so much. So charming.
I'm so glad you're enjoying it! 😊
Wow, wow, wow Angie!!! I don't just "Like" it, I "LOVE" it!!! What a fantastic use for that headboard! I'm blown away every time you create something. Who would have thought you could turn this into that!!! I would love to make one of these. Bravo Angie!!!!! ❤💜❌⭕
WOW,WOW. So beautiful and relaxing . Another triumph 💕🦋
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Yes I agree with someone’s comment. You were meant to have this headboard to remake into something absolutely incredible. Gosh you really never disappoint Angie. You are so talented and really do have a great imagination for recreating something new from trash. Love your message of inspiration too. Be well and thank you for this amazing content that you work so hard at putting out for us fans ❤
You're so welcome Jodi! Thank you, again, for the support! 😊
So lovely and will be a beautiful addition to your relaxation room! Peaceful, simple, elegent💕
I think so too! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Your creativity to give this piece no one wanted both continued use and a new purpose is genius! Love the insert fabric. Would love to see the whole room once it's complete.
Thank you so much! 😊
Tha’ts quite the transformation. I love it and I know you will love relaxing with that beautiful fire.
I can't wait! 😄
Wow!
Great makeover!
You've worked miracles again, Angie!😃👍💪
Thank you! 😊
GREAT JOB ANGIE 👏👏👏👏
Thank you! 😊
"Energy and persistance conquer all things"
Angie, you slayed this one. And yes it's classy.
Brava Angie 👏
Thank you very much!! 😁
You do such an amazing job with all of those projects ❤
Thank you so much!! 😊
Wow! You made it look as if it was meant to be a fireplace. I never would have guessed it was made from an old discarded headboard. It's so chic and smart looking. Kudos!
Thank you kindly! 😀
Amazing. What a great idea! Stunning! Well done!
Thank you! 😊
What a beautiful cat ledge! I'm sure your furs will agree this is a perfect elevated place to lounge.
Classy and practical, and toasty warm. Just don't put anything breakable on top...
I LOVE THIS!!!! Great Job 👊🏻 Fantastic music for the reveal as well 😉
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
That’s why you kept the ‘peace’ so long; long enough to realize it was yours as a new project. Looks great. I’ve two of those drop in heater fireplaces and I just thank myself yearly for the indulgence.
Awesome! Perfect repurpose idea😄. End result is beautiful.👍🏼🌺
Thank you very much! 😀
It took me back Angie - watching you work your magic on mid-century pieces. You have come so far since the sander attached to a vacuum with tape. I am so pleased for you 1🙂
Thank you very much! 😊
I had one of these as a kid. A gem of a transformation.
Many thanks!
I'm running out of words to describe how awesome your work is ❤
I appreciate that!!
Absolutely gorgeous transformation! Love the fabric inserts, and that lovely warm walnut color is perfect with the black and the fireplace insert. Excellent work as always, Angie!
I'm so glad you like it!!
Wow…what a creation done by a visionary.
Thank you kindly! 😊
That's so cool! I love how it turned out.
Thank you very much! 😊
As usual, you have made a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Just gorgeous! And supremely functional. Bonus!
I'm so glad you like it! 😊
I'm so impressed with the reveal.
I'm glad you like how it turned out!
OMG I grew up with one of these. You have brought back some memories. 😻
I'm so glad I could do that for you!! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
If you're reading this, you're awake right now.
Unless you're sleep reading.
It is a beautiful transformation! Another ugly duckling to swan masterpiece! I can imagine the comfort of sitting in front of that roaring fire on a cold and snowy Canadian winter day, perfect! 👌👌👌
I'm so glad you like it! 😊
Just wanted to mention here that I recently rescued a little teak dresser from a container near my house! I patched some holes and oiled her up and all along I was thinking about how you've inspired me, Angie! It was my first time and it shows but I love it so much!
That is wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Wow! Truly a beautiful creation.
Thank you so much 😀
I’m 69 and had a blond MCM bed set when I was growing up…and yes I had the bookcase headboard. I used to put my pajamas in the cubbies covered by the door! This turned out so elegant…you always make something from nothing!
I'm so glad you like it! 😊
Oh Angie this is stunning. To be able to look at something that has literally no value & turn it into something that is not only beautiful but functional is amazing. You are a joy to watch ❤
Thank you so much Susan! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos!
Bonjour 👋.
Encore une fois de plus j'adore ❤. Excellente transformation. Bravo
Merci!! ❤️
what an idea. It's so stylish. As a child I had a bookcase headboard. memories.
And that's why you couldn't get rid of it. It was meant to be! Gorgeous!!!!!!!!❤
I think so too! 😀
OMG! In a million guesses, I don’t think I ever would have guessed how that started! You sure met your goal of making it cozy and classic. Stunning. Brava!!
I'm so glad you like it! 😀
Wow! That is one of the coolest transformations of any video on UA-cam. You have inspired me to take a beginner woodworking course . Presently my efforts only manage to sanding , staining or painting . I’m pleased with my efforts but your wonderful teaching style has encouraged to take on more projects . I also have to keep in mind enthusiasm and skill level are on the same page. Please keep up producing these wonderful videos of your talented work.
I definitely will Arlene! Enjoy your course!
I grew up with one of these and I would have NEVER thought this could be the second life for an old headboard. Brilliant!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Wow Angie..what a transformation..you are a bloody star
Awe, thank you so much! 😊
A fire surround from a headboard. How clever. And it turned out lovely.
Thank you very much! 😊
amazing transformation as usual. Who’d a thunk an ugly old headboard and an electric fireplace could turn into a thing of beauty,. Love the “field guide to lucid dreaming” book too.😊
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Absolutely fantastic! What a wonderful way to see this repurposed!! You do such wonderful work!❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
What the?????😳
Holy crap Angie- what an absolutely beautiful makeover!!
So thoroughly enjoyed this video. I loved the chatting!
Thank u so much for sharing another wonderful example of your art🥰
You're very welcome! 😊
That headboard was in my grandparent's bedroom. The little tables with legs spread to the sides. Anthurium plant on one of them. Orange curtains with those brown circles on them. I believe the same floof orange blanket on the foot end. We sleep under eiderdowns as it can get bloody cold here. You made it a modern statement. Love, love it. A bit of memory lane there
You would think after watching you make magic for years that I wouldn't be in awe anymore but here we are. You took trash and created something so beautiful and unique. I can't wait to see it in your new space!
Wow, thank you!
My sister and I shared our parents’ hand-me-down headboard like this in the mid-70s. This definitely brought back some memories! What a neat repurposing and beautifully done as always.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You took something no one wanted and made it Beautiful! Love the Pop of color too! Another Fantastic job!❤🎉
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
what a beautiful piece and creative idea. Clearly this did not belong in the trash. Thank you for saving so many pieces from the trash.
You're so welcome! 😊
My family had one of those headboards! This took imagination and skill, and looks beautiful. Never would have looked at that and seen an elegant fireplace. The fabric looks good too. Take a bow!
I'm so glad you like it!
I think it came out really nice. I like how you rescue old furniture and give it a second life. Thanks!
You're very welcome! ☺️
Well done you for not giving up on this piece .....you have worked your magic once again ......stunning xxxx
Thanks Sally! 😀
That turned out really nice, Angie. Creative genius at work again. Your room looks so nice and cozy. I could relax in a place like that. Thanks for treating us to another amazing make-something-out-of-nothing. Bless you and be healthy. Love, Dave and Amy🏆
You're so welcome!! I'm glad you like it! 😊
Brilliant! Who would've thought a headboard could become such a stunning fireplace?
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
I hope you have many years of sitting close by and gazing into that fireplace and letting things drift. I thank you for the video and allowing us to decompress to your incredible talent.
You're incredibly welcome!! 🤗
Your creativity, whilst respecting the original piece is unmatched. GORGEOUS!
Thank you very much! 😀
What a great idea. Mom surprised me with a maple bookshelf bed in the mid 50s. I felt really special. It was solid wood.
That is awesome!
I think it’s a fabulous transformation ❤
Thank you!!
I love it. Whoo hoo it's beautiful. Great job Angie.
Thank you Cheryl!
Wow!!! This is truly beautiful!!!! What a makeover and a GREAT IDEA to turn it into a fireplace!!! Absolutely LOVE IT!
I'm so glad!! 😀
Angie...O M G!!! This is absolutely breathtaking, your talent never ceases to amaze and so appreciate you sharing it with us. This might be one of my all time favorite pieces. ♥♥♥
Many thanks! ☺️
I like you talking us through your thought process and your specific tasks as you work on these projects
What a wonderful way to repurpose this piece. Again, you are so creative!
I appreciate that! 😁
I really enjoy your channel. Woodworking was an elective class when I was in junior high school. It was really a lot of fun for me. Unfortunately, I didn't stick with it and began working with computers instead. Your furniture flips are just mind-blowing. Wherever you get your inspiration from, you are truly blessed to have it. Thanks for allowing me to experience woodworking again vicariously.
You are so welcome!! 😊
Oh my goodness! That is an amazing transformation 😮
I'm so glad you like it! 😊
Wow Angie, this is stunning. Taking something simple and making it a statement piece. I love when you talk through what you’re doing and why, I learn so much from you. You have a very calm voice, that is super relaxing. Enjoy your relaxation room and the beauty of your new fireplace.
Thank you very much Robyn! 😀
It is always a pleasure watching someone work on wood, with the attention to detail on every aspect of a piece. Not only is this a creative repurpose that is useful, but is absolutely beautiful! I really like this piece…OMG! 😳 I think I’m jealous!!!❤
I'm so glad you like how it turned out!
