Fireplaces let’s see them

[BoatCop]

Here's mine. The first is as I built it when we did the addition. The others are of the in-progress and finished product when I remodeled it.

 

[TITTIES AND BEER]

Wood stoves , we have 3 up stairs down stairs ( 3 steps ) and 1 in garage they put off real heat

One of my last projects is the fireplace. Trying to get some ideas. Let’s see what you’ve got. Stone with a timber mantle is the game plan so far

You plan on putting a TV above it?

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

Not mine, but mine will be similar to the second one.

Here is the before and after of ours. Jeff did it himself. He even built the mantel and shelves. Couldn't see paying $800 for a mantel, so we bought some white oak, he distressed it and installed it. Came out so fabulous. First time doing any stonework, so mistakes were made, but only a mason would notice, most likely. Our plan was to eventually put in some cabinets below with a built-in wine cooler on each side, but as you guys know, we sold the house.

This company has a lot of rustic mantels, we were going to go with them, but with the shelves included, we decided it was cost-effective to try to build our own. Not sure what your skill set is. https://www.mantelsdirect.com/rustic-mantel-shelves.html

Here’s the room

Well a little advise from when I did mine. Rum hdmi cables very long at each end. Don't try to make it all trick with plates that the hdmi cables plug into behind the TV. Thats what I did and I have connection problems. Even better if you have some sort of conduit. Also behind the TV where it mounts to the wall I didn't put stone there but left an area hidden by the TV blank and doubled up some plywood so that way you didn't have to find studs to mount your TV. Just some lags into the plywood.

I have conduits and 2 hdmi cables back there. I didn’t have the room for plywood but that is solid advice

It used to be green, just like the wall. We added the stone a few months ago.
No gas in our neighborhood so there is a propane tank outside for it.

Looks like we copied "warped71" but I built this one about 31 years ago.
Added the wood stove insert about 25 years ago.

Here's one I made for the Havasu house . Deb picked the tile that we installed and I designed and built the rest .

 

[Long Way Home]

I very impressed with the RDP crowd on here, we are at the end of September and looking at the fireplace phots on here a lot of people have the Christmas spirit. The countdown to Christmas has already begun and the Christmas Spirit Fills the Air.

These are from a home we sold about 6 years ago. Loved this place.

Got our custom floating shelves and cabinets installed today. Really stoked about the way everything turned out.

Still waiting on bookshelves

I don't have any pictures on my phone of just my fireplace, but I took this shot of my living room after my buddy Dylan (WHITEWORKS) installed new shutters in my house! I'll try to remember grabbing a better shot

Very symmetrical! I like symmetry. The floating shelves are very cool

Never got around to the built-ins before selling this house.

We're in the design stage of the new house and trying to determine what we're doing for the new fireplace. Decisions, decisions.

 

[Slink]

View attachment 1052769 Built-ins and floating shelves on both sides to be done soon. I'll update when completed.

How far does the fireplace wall pop out ? Looks nice. Want to do something like this in new basement.

It pops out 18". It wasn't necessary for it to be that much, as the electric fireplace isn't that deep, but I didn't want it to just look like a stack of rocks up against the wall To me, this gives it more of an actual fireplace look - plus then it created spaces for the consoles.

 

[badluck]

Got my fireplace almost wrapped up. Just need to repaint the face. The blue tape peeled the paint right off. Otherwise the stone came out decent

 

[CLdrinker]

I just re-did ours. Cut and polished the granite myself as well.
