DIY FIREPLACE WALL WITH TV // ENTERTAINMENT CENTER!

[@diyhuntress]

It feels like it’s been forever & I’m so happy to be back! Figured I’d post something different while we’re all waiting on this bathroom to get done! Thanks for being patient with me as I keep on trucking in this house of mine. Missed you all so much! 💓

[@cerievans1980]

Wow, it looks amazing, there really is nothing you can’t do. Xx

[@topperdude2007]

We - especially my daughters - missed you / your videos. Nicely done with the "fireplace thingy" (yes - exact technical term my younger one used 😅). Your house projects are coming along quite nicely.

[@jimmyphalen7160]

What brand and color was the paint or stain for the boards. I love this color.

[@AuthorJamesBeltz]

AWould you mind telling me how big that Tv was. and the fireplace? I am formulating my own fireplace plan and I was thinking of a 75inch TV over a 70 inch fireplace. which should be close to the same actual width. Just trying to visualize it. Most of these builds I see do this with a 60 inch fireplac, and 65 inch tv. Yours looks bigger.

[@misinformationwithrandy]

The TV is perfect, and it's darkness really fits into the wall really nicely.

[@diyhuntress]

Ahh! Thank you! It’s growing on me. 😊

This fireplace created the ambiance I wanted. Beautiful and stylish. I added a rustic mantle shelf above it and love the look

[@kerrybernard6865]

I think the size of the tv looks perfect in that space

Chris agrees! 😁

This is so beautiful and great tutorial for DIY. Thank you for sharing and I like your dad and ur friend the way they're super supportive to be on your side❤

That is "Fire"! Literally. Wow, great job! I love at the end, how your accent wall from the other side of the room is in the reflection of the glass from the fireplace. Inspiring video.

[@julieevans8283]

Also great job of blending the monster tv into the feature wall! Win/win

[@diyhuntress]

Monster TV. 🤣🤣🤣

[@rwilliams4680]

I think the size of the tv is fine because it blends in so well. If it didn’t blend then it might look too big. The fireplace is awesome!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@createwithconfidence8094]

Your video was in my home feed. I love the fireplace TV build. When we moved into our new home 23 years ago, we chose not to pay the money for the fireplace tv unit. Now, I really want to build something like you have built. It looks amazing! I have wanted an electric wide fireplace for a long time. I might hire someone to build it as my husband and I aren't woodworkers at all. Love what you created. Linda

[@jessicahites871]

It's definitely going to cost ya if you hire someone to do it. It's a pretty simple build. Definitely worth giving it a try to save big!!

[@elzacreatif7511]

It turned out SO well.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! 😍

[@nomadryder4377]

Fixing to start building mine this weekend. Going to be 8ft wide and have a hearth with hinged top for storage. Have a 60" fireplace insert and 75" tv to mount over top. I cant wait to surprise my wife with it. Think im going to cover it with nickel gap boards for a old school look. Thanks for the video and tips.

Renovations always take longer than the estimated time and costs. And sometimes you just need a break from all the decisions and work. Lovely work!

[@diyhuntress]

Alwayssss… thank you!

[@CDils18]

What’s the name of the app you were using in this video to draw out the design?

[@5280Woodworking]

Electric fire places are awesome. Great for ambiance in the summer time without heat. Or with 240V can heat up nicely! We had the option to do whatever we wanted and still went electric. Love it.

[@diyhuntress]

Obsessed so far!

[@pteddie6965]

Hi Ya' Sam. You're correct. It does seem like it's been forever since we've seen you. I have certainly missed getting to share your projects. I like this fireplace/tv wall thingy. I'm with Chris. The bigger the tv, the better. I think that you and Chris are going to spend many happy evenings in front of this tv wall. Glad you are back and thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@diyhuntress]

Glad I’m back too! Missed sharing as well! Thank you for all of the love, always!

[@mugg1841]

That came out great. Nice look and the fireplace looks almost better than a real one. Very cool.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

If it makes you feel any better, nothing in a new house is square, straight, or level either 🤣 I love your new fireplace wall 😍😍 and your new floors! 🙌

[@diyhuntress]

Coming over for movie night? 🍿

[@TamarLitvot]

But older homes are even worse. Our original house was built in 1978 -- we moved in a couple of years later and mostly things were pretty level and square. We just moved into a house built in 1951 (we've downsized) and it's amazing how different it is from our old house. We had a skilled guy put together the shelves we had in our original house, which looked fine there, and he made them level which means they look off kilter in this house! I'm trying to figure out how to handle that because I'm obsessive enough to notice it every time I look at them!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@bisquick246]

This was helpful for sure. I’m about to tackle one myself. I want to do some accessible side compartments and a mantle above the fire place for mine. I plan to put my tv higher so when I hang stockings the stocking holders won’t block the tv. I need to make sure the remotes for my electronics can access them so I’m thinking of an epoxy river cabinet front above the tv.. idk yet exactly. Thank you for this though, great job.

[@TamarLitvot]

Fireplace is great! We’re looking into a gas fireplace but not only are they very expensive, they also are not as good environmentally as electric ones. (Though they’re far better then wood-burning fireplaces or even high efficiency wood-burning stoves.) Unfortunately, I was turned off by the electric fireplace inserts I saw but my mind may change because yours is beautiful! I’m totally with you on the TV. Too big! But compromise is at the heart of good relationships so you’re doing the right thing. And your fireplace still looks fantastic with the black boards diminishing the impact of the giant TV.

[@diyhuntress]

It was so hard to find an electric insert that looked realistic, but this one crushed it!

[@goddessofthestars]

Wow this is gorgeous! We got our first home last year and I've been thinking of adding something like this to our primary Bedroom for a heat source. We have central air, but the house is heated with propane 💰💸💰🥲. Heating the room with something like this would be more efficient for us most of the time and would help us save on some cash 😂. Glad to see you posting! 😀

[@diyhuntress]

The good part too is you can use the fire without the heat too!

[@jeremyspecce]

I don’t know if that’s true, electric heat tends to be the most expensive, but it is relative to fuel and electricity costs, of course. AND, if there is a fun reason to be using that electric heat it can offset some of the pain if there is not a cost savings to be realized.

[@goddessofthestars]

@@jeremyspecce agreed, it's extremely region specific when it comes to electricity cost, as well as the size of the space you're heating, and other variables like insulation, home materials etc... I was speaking specifically to my situation, and numerically, it is less expensive for my use case.

[@toecutterjenkins]

This looks absolutely beautiful, I think the TV is a perfect size . If it was narrower than the fireplace may have looked odd. The electric has the advantage of having a fire without the heat too. If someone wants a real big screen you could put a crown on top. Then stand the crown off about 3 inches and put a projector screen hidden behind the crown, that rolls down in front of a smaller tv for a real theater experience and a small TV for everyday use. I have a 120 screen in my living room trust me it's amazing for movies.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! I thought of a projector as well! Chris obviously loves that idea. 😂
