First project of 2019! This was my Mother’s Day gift that I finally got to cash in on with the cold weather not really giving us much else to do but housework. It was a weekend project that makes a HUGE impact.
Cost = $85
Supplies:
- Shiplap Boards (5 – Shiplap 5.375-in x 12-ft)
- Side Boards (1 – 5.5-in x 8-ft Painted MDF Square Moulding)
- Miter Saw
- Table Saw
- Air compressor, nail gun, nails,
- Measuring tape
- Level
- Chauk
- Painter’s Putty
- White Paint
Willie started with the outside to boards to frame the fireplace. Then cut the shiplap boards to size to fit perfectly within the frame he made. Once all boards were secured with nails, he finished with silicone around the edges and putty to even out the nail holes. I then painted the wood with two coats of satin white.
I am so happy with this project. It’s one of those changes in your home that you are like, wow it looks like it always belonged.
All the mantle accessories (minus horse head and shorter eucalyptus) I found at Hobby Lobby. What do you all think?
