Hello Everyone, I have been wanting a fireplace with a mantel for a very long time. About a year ago I saw on Pintrest all these fake fireplace with mantels that everyone was doing but I still wasn't sure if we could make one ourselves. A few weeks ago I was looking at a bookshelf I had and I wondered if that can be turned into one, after looking around I found that yes we could woohoo! I showed my husband and he was a bit unsure but we still went ahead with it and now we are in love with it! I look forward to decorating my mantel for all seasons if possible. As always, thank you so much for watching! God bless!
