✨FIREPLACE REVEAL✨ The fireplace in my 1865 Victorian living room was a retrofit from the 1960s that was crumbling under our feet. The subfloor was cracked, the chimney column was damaged, the tiles were disintegrating, and the mantel was missing quite a few parts (swipe to the end ➡️ to see what I was working with). That meant one thing: time for a DIY fireplace makeover!
Over the past few weeks, I demoed the old fireplace, fixed the subfloor, retiled the hearth (this was a JOURNEY…iykyk), and customized a new mantel to much better fit my living room vibes!
This DIY project turned out to be a favorite of mine, and I still have a hard time believing that I did it all myself!
Eventually, we’ll have a contractor run wiring for a new electric insert, but for now, I’m tickled with how she turned out!
