It's been a while but I'm BACK and I am so stoked to share this DIY electric fireplace wall & entertainment unit with you all! I have been in limbo on the bathroom renovation project for a bit. So, I decided to move forward on a project I've been wanting to make before we move our furniture in: an electric fireplace wall!

AWould you mind telling me how big that Tv was. and the fireplace? I am formulating my own fireplace plan and I was thinking of a 75inch TV over a 70 inch fireplace. which should be close to the same actual width. Just trying to visualize it. Most of these builds I see do this with a 60 inch fireplac, and 65 inch tv. Yours looks bigger.

But older homes are even worse. Our original house was built in 1978 -- we moved in a couple of years later and mostly things were pretty level and square. We just moved into a house built in 1951 (we've downsized) and it's amazing how different it is from our old house. We had a skilled guy put together the shelves we had in our original house, which looked fine there, and he made them level which means they look off kilter in this house! I'm trying to figure out how to handle that because I'm obsessive enough to notice it every time I look at them!

Now, I really want to build something like you have built. It looks amazing! I have wanted an electric wide fireplace for a long time. I might hire someone to build it as my husband and I aren't woodworkers at all. Love what you created. Linda

I also let Hubby get new ginormous tv, which now overhangs the window trim a bit🤔 gonna have to get creative to design a shape to accommodate the elephant in the room. Possibly a whole wall of built ins? Your framing method will definitely come in handy working with old unlevel walls and floors. Thanks for your excellent content 😻

I don’t know if that’s true, electric heat tends to be the most expensive, but it is relative to fuel and electricity costs, of course. AND, if there is a fun reason to be using that electric heat it can offset some of the pain if there is not a cost savings to be realized.

@goddessofthestars 2 жыл бұрын

@@jeremyspecce agreed, it's extremely region specific when it comes to electricity cost, as well as the size of the space you're heating, and other variables like insulation, home materials etc... I was speaking specifically to my situation, and numerically, it is less expensive for my use case.

Fireplace is great! We’re looking into a gas fireplace but not only are they very expensive, they also are not as good environmentally as electric ones. (Though they’re far better then wood-burning fireplaces or even high efficiency wood-burning stoves.) Unfortunately, I was turned off by the electric fireplace inserts I saw but my mind may change because yours is beautiful! I’m totally with you on the TV. Too big! But compromise is at the heart of good relationships so you’re doing the right thing. And your fireplace still looks fantastic with the black boards diminishing the impact of the giant TV.

Great Job, thanks for sharing!! .. About the entertainment center part of your wall, how deep did you go from front of frame to rear? I have a similar situation where I have an receiver requiring 19" from wall for wire hookups. If the tv is covering the receiver behind it, do you have any problem with a remote control operating the receiver? I also have 3 sizable speakers that need to be hidden by a mesh cloth to be blended into the wall.
