Fireplace Makeover
This transformation is one of my favorite to date! The fireplace before was old, dated, and needed some love! In this post I will be explaining what I did to transform this fireplace. If you don’t have a fireplace in your house, checkout this other post I created about how to create a Faux Fireplace!
Supplies
feather finish concrete
1/2 inch mdf board
loctite power grab
trim wood
miter saw
table saw
caulk
paint
floetrol
4X6 wood
Step 1
Before you tackle this project first thing you want to do is check fireplace code in your area. I first started by disconnecting the fans! This is a wood burning stove and these fans were not necessary.
Step 2
Next step was to cover the granite slab with feather finish concrete! This was so simple! Mix the concrete with water until it was a peanut butter texture and smooth it. You can also use feather finish on walls to create a faux concrete look! I love using feather finish!
Step 3
Cover the brick with MDF! 1/2 inch MDF and Loctite Power Grab was used to attach it to the brick! Ilet that sit over night.
Step 4
I wanted framework on the fireplace, I then decided my design and then added it. I used trim wood for the framework. Also, I attached it using the Power Grab.
Step 5
Then I caulked all the areas that needed it. I let the caulk dry and then painted the fireplace with Glidden Orisis. To help eliminate brush stoke lines I used Floetrol, I love this additive.
Step 6
To make the mantle I just used a 4×6 from home depot and used Power Grab again to attach it to the top of the brick!
