Thank you so much for liking this video , leaving a comment and subscribing if you are new. I truly appreciate every one of you 💓💓
I love this so much! I appreciate you sharing cost to build as well. My husband and I just priced out a wood stove with installation at around $5,000. I'm going to show him this idea.
Floating shelves might work better if the depth is narrow. Didn't hear how far they built it out. If you do them a little higher, then you could add the chairs underneath. An alternative to chairs is a custom rolling ottoman or two that flip up to store toys or board games but double as seating.
My vote: Built in bookcases!! My opinion is it would look high-end an set your's apart. So many people are doing these fireplaces & they all look pretty similar. I also feel it would make that wall the statement or focal point of your livingroom. Yall did an awesome job as always! You amaze me how your not afraid to pick up those tools and do the darn thing...lol!! Its inspiring for sure!😘
Yes I agree ! that's why I came up with the shelving design to begin with so that way it didnt look like everyone elses haha and then I was going to do the half ship lap and half brick but got worried it would be too busy in the small space ! so now I just need to figure out how I'm going to custom build these cabinets 💓💓
Here I am again when I had mine done we went with book shelf on top cabinets on bottom and put my chairs in front of them it was beautiful my brother done them for me before he got sick
Look at Billy bookcases from Ikea, I've seen them used for built ins on fireplaces and they are inexpensive and work great.
This is so beautiful Karrie. You and your husband did a great job. I vote for chairs and two floating shelves above the chairs on either side. It’s the best of both worlds.
Thats what I said lol
I agree 100%👍
I agree love the idea
I agree
I love ❤️ how your husband helps you... So sweet!
We had a custom fireplace built with the same fireplace insert. We are in Texas. I recommend, for inspection and code purposes, that you adjust access to the insert. For us we have to have access to the plug in the wall and be able to access and pull out the insert if needed. You can have the same insert and be able to change out the insert whenever needed. Excited to see the end and happy to send pics of ours if needed.
Good point!
Very wise words.
I was thinking the same thing!
My opinion would be to add matching chairs and maybe floating shelves. You two did a great job as always! I was commenting in my head, watching you making the mantle.."Now, that is a bad female right there." "Looking hot with her hair and nails done." "Adorable outfit." "Building with tools!" That's female power right there! PLUS, such a sweet, loving personality. Absolutely love it!! This is exact what I am trying to install in my daughter! 😊
I think both you and your husband have done an incredible job. I personally, would go ahead with your original idea and add custom built in shelving, it will be a great way to add personal touches to the space, like family photos and ornaments, perhaps some plants.
Yesss I agree thank you 😊 💓💓
I agree. Plus it would add more storage too which is lacking. I so go for the built-in Karrie.
I kinda think you need to look ahead also, if you have shelf’s/bookcases on both sides you can’t do any kind of conversation area (chair facing the sofa) for when having company and then at Christmas, will you have a space for tree and so on. Just something to think about. But But But,,,,I’m not saying the bookcases wouldn’t look absolutely beautiful lol!!
I love it, I think you guys done an awesome job ❤️
@@pamboone6921 trust me I'm weighing the pros and cons forsure lol I'm thinking about the Christmas tree and figure when we decide to sell how to style to make it fit for everyone 😊 I'm definitely going to think it through 💗💗
I love it! You can also place your couch in front of the window and add a chair the way you had the wing chair.
I love how you leave y’all discussing the project in the video. Most people play music over but I feel it’s important to see/hear😊
I’m not finished with the video yet and luv it! You and Dillon need to do a Q & A video….you guys are funny together. I have a ton of questions to ask floating in my head. Mostly, how you get him to go along with all your builds. All I hear from my house is “Why do all your idea involve my back?” 🙄
My vote is book cases. It would create storage which would be useful for you, and it will create space for you to decorate which is what you are so good at. Seating would be pretty but once your TV is mounted, no one will want to sit there because they won't be able to see the TV. Chairs would look cute but wouldn't be practical for your family, in my opinion. With kids and dogs and a smaller house, practicality always wins. Lol. Speaking from experience! But the fireplace looks AMAZING and I can't wait to see what you end up deciding on!!!
Karrie I'm like half way through this video and I can already say, it's going to look gorgeous. I'm so excited for you guys. You and your husband make a great team together. You are building your dream home!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!!! My vote is for the built-in book cases.
I love that he helps you with projects and is willing to
let you change things around and make and remake spaces.
Your relationship makes me smile. 💞😊
I would just do some kind of trim like you did on your dining room wall. I think shelves would over power the room with you having your other faux brick wall. It looks great!!! Love your ideas. ❤️
It wàs so cute; your little boy hugging dogs on couch!
Y’all did a great job!! I think putting a bookcase on each side is a wonderful idea. Can’t wait to see what you decide to do.
Thanks for your input! I'm leaning towards that option too 💓
People watching this, please WEAR SAFTY GLASSES. You guys did an amazing job! We're looking at doing something like this with a vaulted ceiling and real thin brick. Love the mantle. My husband got a speck of some wood in his eye years ago and it almost cost him an eye. Even today the scar tissue shows up on vision exams. Always wear the right gear, especially with so many people watching this and copying you.
Wow, its beautiful, I love the idea of built-ins on either side. But you could always do the accent chairs with floating shelves with the same special walnut above them. Anything you do always looks amazing.
that's a great idea!!
I had same idea. Then you can have seating and shelves.
My vote is the built in bookcases. You seem to love to change up your decor often and built in bookcases would give you more opportunity and space to do so
I LOVE how this turned out!! You guys did an amazing job figuring everything out..love how y'all work together. I vote for built-in's!!!❤️❤️
Design on a Dime did an amazing bathroom redo with the faux brick cutting out the grout line. I love all these creative ideas. Thanks much.
Im definitely interested in this video, I been wanting to build a fireplace.😃
I hope it gives you some ideas
My suggestion is open shelving on either side of the fire place instead of having cupboards underneath the shelving maybe a bench with storage underneath the bench on both sides…you’ll have seating and still have hidden storage under the bench…they can be wider for sitting or dozing up and cushions made for comfort a throw and some pillows a comfy reading nook for each of the little ones…..I love the fireplace…you guys did an amazing job….
Looks so good. I would do storage on sides and shelving. You can never have to much storage.
Cabinets with the shelving!!! I freaking love it.
Karrie, just incredible how this fireplace turned out. You have amazing attention to detail. The extra storage would look so nice on either side, but extra seating is a plus too. Either way will look great. You and your husband do great work together!
The fireplace so beautiful the bookshelves on both side would be beautiful
Call me crazy but I’m loving the natural wood look with just the sheets of plywood 😁
❤️ great job on this it’s beautiful
No I thought the same too haha it is more of a modern look but could be very beautiful!
That mantle is genius !!
Me too! I love the natural look of wood more. I like that organic modern style in interior design 😍
I think split the difference, hang 3 floating shelves ( matching mantle) on upper walls & 2 accent chairs underneath. Best of both worlds.
Looks so good.
I was a tad surprised you didn’t create hidden storage in the sides, but, if you’re considering full length bookcases, that would be why
Looking forward to Part Two
I vote for bookcases. It will in the long run be more useful and will look fabulous! You can always add an accent chair in the window or opposite side
I love it just the way it is! The space on each side of the fireplace just how it is! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi , I think accent chairs and stained floating shelves on either side of the fireplace would be beautiful and you would have the best of both worlds!!! 😊🤗😚💗💖💗💕💕💗💖💕
Go for the bookcases! The cabinets on the bottom will give you storage you won’t regret having! I think it’ll also give the whole wall a more finished/high end look. It’s gorgeous so far!
I would totally do built ins, only because I live in a small home and for me, the more storage the better!
Karrie!!! This is insane! Absolutely gorgeous and just changes the atmosphere of the entire room! Fantastic job - you two make a great team!
I like the idea of adding cabinets and selves that way you have storage. You could always add a bench under the window for more seating
Oh my goodness Karrie the fireplace wall looks amazing!!! I love it so much. I absolutely love that Dylan gave you a visual with the cardboard tv. Such a great guy. I’m also a visual person. I’ve been wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets white but was so afraid to just do it so I used white wood grain contact paper to get my visual. And I love it. Once it’s warmer in the PNW we will paint them. Can’t wait to see what you decide what to do. Wishing you a fantastic week.
LOVE how it turned out! I really think you should do the built-ins. Extra storage AND somewhere cute to decorate year round. You could still tuck in a small chair in front of the built-in near window, and also use a small pouf or cube for extra seating in front of other built-in. Looks really good!!!
You guys did an amazing job, it looks soooo good! If you have enough room for base cabinets and shelving above them on both sides of the fireplace that’s my vote. Always can use more storage and then you can display some of your decor pieces. I’m sure whatever you decide will rock. I love what you guys are doing to your home. It always turns out beautifully!
My opinion, cabinet for storage on bottom and shelves above that way you can have the storage and be able to place additional seating. I do love this remodel. I think the cabinet and shelving would be great for resale value. ❤🙋♂️
Hey Karrie, You and Dillon did so good…. It looks super cool! As far as what to do on the sides, if it were me I’d do two small swivel tub chairs with some floating shelves above them on both sides. But whatever choice you go with (seating or built ins) I know you’ll make it look awesome. Super fun video to watch. Thx
Watching from Michigan…Kim 🙂
The cabinets on each side would be beautiful
Absolutely love how this turned out. You all did such a great job and it looks so good. I deff think seating would look great too but I would go with the shelving on each side. Either way it will looks amazing! Great job and 👏 for using and building with power tools all on your own. 💕
The fireplace turned out great!! You and your husband did an amazing job. I vote for the built in bookcases. It would make your fireplace look finished.
I’ve been waiting patiently for this! 😍
I am glad to see you and your husband did this project yourself I really want a move able fireplace plus I lov love your diy projects
Omg yessssss!!! I’ve been waiting for this! 😍
My vote is bookcases! With pictures above or shelving ❤️
Love this!! I’d do cabinets and shelves 😊
Okay thanks for the input !! I'm coming up with ideas in my head right now lol
Love your detail in explaining everything. I understood everything but you'll still have those people who complain about everything. You guys did amazing so proud of you!!!
Firsssst! Really love your channel. The fireplace looks beautiful
Hey!!! Thanks for watching so fast 💓
@@karrielynn thank you for all the ideias. Big fan from Brazil
Karrie, Some of the best memories are of when my husband and I worked on our house and didn't always know what we were doing. When I look around now, and admire all that we accomplished simply by plowing ahead, it's a sweet reminder of all of the fun we had, and the times we fell in love with each other all over again.
Of course, there were those moments when we thought, what have we done? We don't know what we are doing!!! LOL!
You two do good work. I have seen some of your projects and how you work together.
This will be another success, I'm sure.
When you dropped that spackle 😂 the last 2 projects I’ve done, I spilled whole cans of paint right on the floor 😂😂
That's the worst a few cuss words came out haha 😭🤣
You can use zip anchors or Toggler drywall anchors to attach the studs to the wall where you don't hit the original wall framing. It's not a structural unit, so you are basically just trying to attach it to the wall so it doesn't fall over. The way you did it is just fine too. Maybe a little more work, but no big deal. Good job!
breaking up the fireplace with shiplap would have made it look very dated, although having two services on your fireplace was common in the 70-80’s it is not seen much in today’s design. it looks incredible! i think your evolving design is spot on. ❤️
I would put in book cases with storage at bottom. It's beautiful.
I would definitely do shelves and cabinets. It will make it look completely finished.
I so love the effect on the 'stones'!! I would create a library on both sides with a small reading sofa and lamp beside ❤️👍🏻
All I can say is WOW! It looks so awesome! I think if it were me id want to cozy up the space with more seating, another chair or two to enjoy the fireplace. Maybe put floating shelves on each side too. Whatever you decide it will look great! P.S. I read comments after I wrote this not realizing a lot were saying the same!
I vote for 2 accent chairs. More seating and less bulky I think for your space. Love how it turned out!! ❤️😍
Thank you for your input 💓💓💓
I may have missed it but adding extra electric outlets would be a good idea. One on each side of the fireplace. You’ll be surprised how much you’ll use them, even with the bookshelves in place.
It’s beautiful!!! I think the best of both worlds. Put book shelves half way up wall to ceiling and then chair . So each side put half wall book shelf and a chair. Make the book shelves narrow in depth like about 6” max depth. Great job!
I vote for the storage/bookcases!! I really love that look
Karrie you and your husband done such a great job your fireplace looks absolutely Beautiful I think bookcases
Ohhh the extra storage would be GREAT especially in a small (ish) home you can never have enough storage ❤️❤️ LOVE this DIY
On each side build open shelving on top but on the bottom build a bench with hinged storage and a pillow top for seating.
Absolutely gorgeous. You did a great job. My vote is extra storage with the built in bookshelves.
I like the idea of having the builtins on the sides maybe with mirrors as the background of the shelving.
I love it you and your husband did a wonderful job. I thought Joann and Chip Gaines were good. But you and your husband are really good to.
WOW!!!!! You are AWESOME!!! And the two of you work PERFECTLY together!!! The fireplace is STUNNING!!! I'm SO HOOKED on your channel!!!
You and your husband did a beautiful job. Chairs or bookcases would be nice also.
Karrie the fireplace turned out great and Yes I think the book shelves would look amazing. Congrats to you and your husband.
Side chairs !!! Simply & clean! It’s looks amazing, awesome job to you and your honey!!
I like the idea of chairs. They need to be small but comfortable.
Dillan is so talented you guys make a great pair
Hi Karrie. Me personally I would put in a cupboard an door for storage of family games play station. For the doors make mini barn doors. The book shelves on each side. You could also store you lounge decor not being used in those cabinets.
I love how optimistic you are when working on things. Especially with your husband. You’re always like “oh, it’s okay! It’s fine! It’ll be fine. It’ll look great.” Which is so refreshing. I’m sure your husband loves that too instead of being demanding or picky and if not being a fun task. ❤️❤️
That is freaking gorgeous, Karrie you’re the type of woman with skills that someone can give you a pocket knife and a q tip send you out into the wilderness and you can build a shopping mall🤣 You and hubby make a great team . God bless you and thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Oh I like the idea of the two accent chairs! But I like the bookcases idea as well. I'd personally go for seating.
im so glad your adding book cases its going to look spectatular
Both ideas are amazing but the built in shelves would look so good!
You’re amazing Karrie (and your hubby). I vote for the bookcases.
I think built in shelves would be so cute!!
Cabinets and shelves would be beautiful!!
Definitely do the bookshelves it will make that wall be the focal point of ur living room. Great job Karrie like always
Very nice job you and hubby work so good together I just love be very proud
You can use the Fast and Final drywall mud. I used that on our brick and it worked like a dream. We put in a wine room/cellar in our basement under the stairs and used this technique on the walls, did the same as the back drop & accent wall to the basement bathroom vanity wall, and finally on the face of our basement bar. It turned out great. I wish I would have thought to do a fireplace in the family room area of the basement, that would have been the icing on the cake for our basement project. Your fireplace looks great!
Oh my goodness Zoe and little made me laugh so hard on the couch peeping over !
Floating shelfs would look great as well
Karrie you and your husband are amazing for not having a design plan to build a fireplace frame and put in the insert. It would be great to have cabinets and shelves. Fireplace is gorgeous and the mantle you built👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Honestly, I think you should go for extra storage with maybe closing shelves at the bottom (for things you want unseen) and open shelves at the top for decor/books. I think you have plenty of seating elsewhere in the house and it's already a small space, so it's more cozy for just your family and that's a good thing. You have your large table and your large outdoor area, so I think that it would be perfect. As far as your Christmas tree goes, it could easily go in the dining area so I wouldn't worry about that.
I’m the exact same- I’m very visual. I can’t just picture it in my head. I have to actually see it all layer out. 😊😂
The built in shelves would be beautiful!🤩🤩🤩
Built in bookcases would look amazing
That looks so very nice. You wouldn’t know you’ll weren’t professionals because it looks like it was done by a professional. You have the best husband, he is so helpful.
It turned out SUPER...I LOVE IT!!! I would do a small chair on the one side and a faux plant in the corner by the window.....you can always do the bookcase at a later date!! Another DIY video.......Really is Neat!!!
This video provides expertise and clear explanations made the project not only achievable but also incredibly rewarding, many thanks.
I just gotta give you credit for taking on this project.
It is not a small one. It turned out very nice.
I think bookcases would be a nice look to flank the fireplace.
It would give it a more substantial focal point look.
Again, I just need to say I like watching your videos because you guys are like “regular” people trying to make
improvements and don’t get all sweaty about everything but you get nice results.
I love decor so I’d say bookshelves 😝 I believe it will make it look homey and you can add your touches of decor since now you don’t have your tv stand 👍 love your DIYs God bless Karrie ♥️
I love it, I think you should just put 2 big plants on each side and floating shelfs. I think that would look pretty.
