    Changing the insert was definitely the right call. It's more traditional looking while the rectangular one was modern. The surround turned out very pretty. Impressed as always!

    • @KelseyRomitoDIY
      @KelseyRomitoDIY  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes! I couldn’t put my finger on why it never looked right to me before. And that’s when I realized the insert needed to change.

    Painting the fireplace surround the same color as the built-ins was definitely the right choice! Also changing the fireplace from rectangle to square made such a positive difference. I love the mantel you built, great job! Not fond of the brick color, but the brick look is great.

  • @lindaroyal8161
    @lindaroyal8161 4 місяці тому

    This is my favorite Fire Place out of all you've done. This one looks more real, the square shape and the brick make it more authentic looking. It looks really good. Does the fireplace give out any heat?
    Questions:
    Did you have a job outside the home before You Tube?
    Did you go to school for any design or woodworking knowledge or are you self taught?
    What kind of work does you husband do, if we may ask?
    Does he help with any of your projects or just let you do your thing?

    • @KelseyRomitoDIY
      @KelseyRomitoDIY  4 місяці тому +1

      I think so too! Yes it gives out heat but I love that I can have the fireplace on without heat because… Texas 🤣
      Great questions. Thanks!

    I love the new fireplace. I liked your first makeover because I liked the warmth of the wood mantle. I'm glad you went back to that look. The brick looks great! I recently did a chunky wood mantle that I slipped over my existing mantle. Then I did shiplap up top & stone down the sides. It turned out great. I owe your videos for giving me the desire to want to DIY (my hubby does not thank you though 🤣🤣)

    Amazing job! I would love to know how your kids and husband react to your DIYs. Do you talk it over with your husband or is it more of a surprise? Is your husband handy as well? Do you do work on projects for family and friends? Do you always stick to a budget? What skill do you feel is your strength? Which skill has been your hardest to grasp? What skill have you learned since starting UA-cam? I have been a fan since the very beginning! I’ve learned so much. I would really like more in depth tutorials on things. Like how do you put in an undermount sink? How did you figure out the recessing of the fireplace? Handy things like that. You have really empowered women to DIY with your videos!!! Thank you for always sharing your projects and skills!!! ❤

    • @KelseyRomitoDIY
      @KelseyRomitoDIY  4 місяці тому +1

      Absolutely! The thin brick can be used on fireplaces, accent walls, backsplash, floors. And it’s so much easier than a ceramic or porcelain tile because the cuts have to be way less precise. If I were using it for a backsplash, I would make sure to seal the grout very well so I could clean it easily.
