Our fireplace renovation is finally complete we built a diy mantel for our fireplace and the end resuls is stunning.
Thanks for supporting the brands that support love.
I always liked the look of those rustic mantels that look like someone chopped a log in half and hung it over the fireplace.
I ve made lots of improvements to it over the years.
It s really big and awkwardly placed in the room right up against the kitchen peninsula.
It made me want to go back and create some faux rustic beam floating shelves for my house.
This diy rustic fireplace mantel has all the charm of reclaimed wood but it s inexpensive and easy to make using basic lumber and supplies.
I have to say that i love how the mantel turned out.
I ve never been a huge fan of our brick fireplace.
It has a reclaimed vintage feel.
I hope this easy affordable diy rustic wood floating mantel post has been helpful and that you give it a try.
Paint can also be a good way to repeat decorative motifs that are present elsewhere in.
We are happy to.
