The project:
We took an old, broken fireplace and built out the frame to have an electric fireplace + wall mounted TV to transform our living room. We refreshed the window frames with some painting and caulking, painted the whole space and added some sheer curtains, and now it’s a brand new space.
- Materials:
Different types of timber and screws/nails
