[@jacquelinemcmillan2793]

I absolutely love how you break everything down and the fact your honest about being nervous and learning as you go encourages me. Im 45 never picked up a power tool in my life lol but im just about to order nail gun drill jigsaw etc etc and get stuck in wish me luck

[@sarahbailey7862]

OH.MY.WORD. !!!!!!! I am smiling because I'm so proud of you! I'm so impressed! I love that you did this despite being afraid. What an amazing example to set for your kiddos and your viewers. Your result it nothing short of stunning. Well done!!!! Can you hear the audience applause??? Just wow, NataLee!!!!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much Sarah!! Your comments made my day. Glad you liked it.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

That fireplace is amazing!!!!! And you know I love all your attention to detail. It’s gorgeous!!! Looks so professional. No one would ever guess it was a DIY. Can’t wait to see more. Now I have a fireplace to hang out at when I come over. 😜💕

[@designedtothenines]

[@designedtothenines]

Wow, thank you!💕

[@sylviamacdonald6682]

Oh my goodness NataLee ! I am in absolute awe of your creativity and use of power tools. I too use power tools, and about a week ago I had ( seriously no kidding ) the idea to replace my monster of a fireplace with a simple built in. My husband and I work on projects together and we came up with ( you guessed it lol ) and almost identical rendering as you have flanked by 2 built in shelving units. Once again my friend you amaze and inspire me . Love & Blessings from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦 xo

[@designedtothenines]

Awesome! Good luck on your project! You too will knock it out of the park I am sure.😃 look forward to getting my built-ins in. ☺️

[@mimistans7715]

I love it! I used to build stuff in my younger days. I actually have my own little shop in our basement. At 66, I seemed to have run out of energy to build things. When I see videos like this I get the itch to go build something 🥰

[@designedtothenines]

Right on! I know the older I get the less stamina I have from my youth. I just have to take more time to get things done. Don't overdo it, but I hope you can build a little something. 😀

[@heatherdodd7589]

I am still impressed with the built ins for your office. This just took things to another level! You keep inspiring me with your amazing skills! Thank you for showing us how to make these projects.

[@designedtothenines]

Wow! What a sweet comment Heather. Thank you so much. ☺️🙏💕

[@rosebuhr]

You have every right to feel proud, it’s aaaaaaaabsolutely gorgeous! Well done! Nothing like a lady who can handle power tools and look beautiful at the same time.

[@designedtothenines]

Well that’s the sweetest comment ever! Thank you so much Rose.💕

[@martyhighley8717]

I am so proud of you! That fireplace is gorgeous! You continue to inspire all women to be safe, but step out of our comfort zone and try new things. I have tried new things because I didn't have the funds to pay someone else to do it. Have given my 8 siblings heart failure from time to time, but like you, have gained confidence in my abilities. You rock lady!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much Marty. Really appreciate it!☺️💕

[@martyhighley8717]

Hey lady, I was wondering how big a air compressor you used to be able to use the big nail gun? I have a 2 gallon, 100 PSI air compressor and want to get a big nail gun. My home was built in the late 1800's so I always have to drill a hole before I can put a nail in the wall. Hopefully, a big air gun will help

[@tracyhoffman7227]

Hi, NATALEE, I JUST GOT CELL SERVICE TODAY. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING THIS DIY THE DAY YOU ACTUALLY POSTED IT. IT FELT LIKE BLACK FRIDAY TO ME, THE ANTICIPATION AND MY EXCITEMENT!! THEN.... LAURA HIT OUR AREA AND MY HOME (and A LOT OF OTHER People's) SO I WAS SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO WATCH IT THIS MORNING. I ACTUALLY STARTED CRYING! I've always wanted a FIREPLACE. When you said that you have wanted one for over 20 yrs. It got me. Idk... For me, my reaction was normal when I saw how It came out, so Stunning and BEAUTIFULLY BUILT & Crafted. Very CHARMING AND GORGEOUS!!! The DETAIL and HARD WORK you and your hubby put in, I was just blown away. I AM IN LOVE !! I was so Excited and happy for you. So, my tears, were tears of Joy! We were hit Hard by HURRICANE LAURA. I'm not Complaining. I'm just devastated. We had no power for 7-9 days. It was so hot during the day and night. GOD IS STILL GOOD ALL THE TIME! PLEASE, ALL DIY NINERS, PLEASE PRAYER FOR ME, FOR US. Natalee, I LOVE YOU and ALL OF YOUR DIYS ARE ALWAYS SO HIGH END. LIKE SOMETHING I WOULD SEE IN A MAGAZINE regardless if it's Small and Simple or Large, you are always Spot on. Tyfs.... 🙋‍♀️😍😍😊❤❤❤❤😭🎆🤗🤗!! Love you Nat! God bless! You are Uber TALENTED. I look for you to have your own DIY Show!! A-MAZ-ING!!

[@designedtothenines]

I totally understand. We once went 10 days without power and internet after a storm. It was terrible... So I get it. Thank you so much for your sweet kindness. I will pray for you and others...affected by the hurricanes and the fires. It's trying times. But you can count of me for upbeat videos to try and get your mind on things. As for my fireplace... I am ecstatic... literally smile every time I pass it. Turn it on every night and sit by it. I feel proud of the work that was done. =) We can do hard things!

[@be_you2023]

Oh, this deserves a million subscribers! What an inspirational person, thank you NataLee for sharing this project.

[@designedtothenines]

Wow! That was such a super nice compliment!

[@barbaraburke8037]

Natalie, you are that "POWER GIRL" if you can do it we all can. You motivates me soooo much more. Thank you girl.

[@dzerres]

I used this shiplap idea and it came out fantastic. I can't post a pic here for some reason but I shiplapped a frame which had an opening for the TV and the fireplace below with a mantle in-between. The only "save work" hint I would give is to be sure to the first coat of paint on your shiplap boards BEFORE installing them. Those little cracks are very difficult to paint afterward. Do the final paint layer after it's up. We priced a granite slab for the mantle above the electric flame fireplace but that was $800 so we glued two pieces of fake wood together and painted it shiny black. Looks great. thank you

[@No.ThatPrettyGirl]

24:56 ur so funny! Thank you for sharing ur vast array of talents. I NEVER get tired of watching you create amazing pieces of ART. ☺ 27:42 u triggered a memory. 🎶 Solid as a Rock 🎶 😂 I ❤ getting into my zone, so focused on what I envision my project to be, nothing else matters.What? Pardon me? Excuse me? What? Did u say the apocalypse is coming? Yeah, yeah, so did Paul Rivere. The apocalypse will have to wait until I complete my project. Eyes on the PRIZE baby! Don't hate.😄

[@ninamelsted8702]

Natalee you do not need a licence to be a carpenter. You have the talent, the drive and mostly, you're fearless. And you make it look so easy. I'm in awe. I'm a woman, hear me roar. I'm hearing you. Excellent job. I'm going to keep showing your skills to my husband to prove once and for all that this is where I get my Wonder Woman inspiration from...and there aren't too many carpenters out there tackling monster tools with polished nails and flawless make up.

[@designedtothenines]

You are just the sweetest Nina! Your comment made my day. Thank you! =)

[@NitrosMom074]

My jaw is on the floor! I am so happy you have your dream fireplace! Electric was the way to go in Florida. You would rarely use a wood or gas one, but electric you can use all year round! The work is amazing, and Joanna Gaines would be so proud! No shame in asking hubby to use the powder actuated hammer, this build is 99.9% your work, and it is fabulous!

[@designedtothenines]

Awe thanks! I really appreciate it Kimmie. =)

[@elainasyoutubechannel7859]

So inspirational. I have no plans to build a fireplace, but you inspire me to do the things I’ve been afraid to do in m life. Thank you

[@jodilea144]

You should definitely feel proud of yourself! That turned out amazing! I recently built my first piece of “real” furniture and I felt the same way. My husband is all about the safety glasses, etc., too. He brought me some nice ones (as far as safety glasses go) that are readers too, so they help me to be safe and still be able to see my cut marks, where to drill, and all that. He just bought me a router table for our 18th anniversary and I’m so excited to have a new world of options available to me. I’m drawing plans for new kitchen cabinets that I plan to build myself. I love your channel and your personality. Keep rockin’, girl! 😁

[@designedtothenines]

Nice! What an awesome present! You are amazing. Keep it up!

[@The_Tinkers_Cottage]

Absolutely stunning Natalee, job well done!!! Your house value just went up, plus the value in knowing that you did this on your own is priceless!! I'm feeling so inspired!

[@designedtothenines]

It really does change the whole feel of the main floor. We love it! Thank you so much for your support Kim.💕

[@paulaspirito7698]

Holy Cow!!!! Wow, Girl! You are amazing. I am so glad you tackled your fear and realized your dream!!!!!!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you Paula! 👊💕

[@Isleskye]

Fantastic! You give me hope re my own skills with an air compressor I bought recently. I’m a life long do it yourself gal but am losing strength as I age due to a progressive disability. I’ve used power tools for years but do have some fear of miter saws. For the last several years I’ve needed to switch my battery op tools for lighter, more compact but stronger models. Now I must get rid of the battery powered power tools to keep being “doing.” I need to go pneumatic so the business end of my tools are as close to featherweight as they make ‘em. But I’ve been tremendously intimidated by air compressors for some reason. You make it look easy peasy. I have been acquiring pneumatic tools for a couple years now as I acquire funds. Finally bought the last of them: air compressor, hose, tips etc. Never thought of the air hammer for removing my entry and dining room tile. I figured my multi-tool would get them up. Thanks for this lightbulb moment😍. BTW: Researched for the air compressor unit for a couple years. My aim‘s been the least weight machine (strong enough to drive nail guns lighter than a framing nailer) I can actually lift. For example, I can’t lift your Porter-Cable model but I’ve tried. Bostich unit -same thing. The winner, I hope, is a Dewalt 18v battery op a-c model. Reviewers claim (construction as well as DIY folks) works dandy just not for production type jobs. It’s costly versus the well rated but inexpensive corded models. Anyway, it’s mine now and I’m running out of excuses not to use these darn things. Your video is just what I needed young missy! I’m 77, not ready to stop diying despite my physical limitations. I’m gonna put my pneumatic tools, bits and parts together and DO !SOMETHING! with them within the next 2 weeks. Not sure what, but something. You are really amazing! Thanks a bunch.

[@designedtothenines]

You are awesome! I am so glad you are looking for ways to work around your physical limitations. It sounds like you have found some great solutions! Love it. =) Way to keep on keeping on!

[@amypoole30]

So awesome!!! You are amazing! That fireplace is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much!

[@shariberry3123]

Wow! That's incredible. I would place some old fashioned style individual tiles in the square spaces at each corner to make it look either Mission or Arts and Crafts era. I just removed the 1982 era pre fab corner fireplace that was a real fire but much too large for the room. I had to rent a demo hammer from Home Depot to remove the brick wall facing. It really opened up the space, enough to install a 3 ft. by 70" long window where part of the brick covered up the wall. I decided to build a faux electric insert fireplace along one wall, with built ins.

[@jessicaehirsch9557]

Excellent job!! When you broke out the hammer tool I was like, “oh boy, it’s getting serious” 😄 I’m so impressed with how it turned out!!

[@stuckinmopro8533]

Just a little suggestion, I usually put construction adhesive between the cement floor and the bottom studs. Using both the adhesive and the shot nails (I was so scared the first time that I hit that shot!) might be an over abundance of caution but there is no way that they will ever move, lol.

[@designedtothenines]

I like it. Great suggestion! Thank you.

[@walshsun3289]

The fireplace is beautiful and you are absolutely amazing!

[@juliekelley4573]

You ROCK! Go head with yo' bad self! Absolutely LOVE it. Loved that you "consulted" Leah of See Jane Drill, (when I "grow up" I want to be like her). 🤣 Keep the wonderful videos coming.

[@hsepulveda1]

WOW! You should really be proud of yourself! The fireplace is beautiful!

I love that u used a sprayer to paint! I recently learned how to use one and it really elevates any diy and gives it a professional smooth look!

[@designedtothenines]

Definitely a professional quality! Go sprayer... all the way!
