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!

Your video was in my home feed. I love the fireplace TV build. When we moved into our new home 23 years ago, we chose not to pay the money for the fireplace tv unit. 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

Wow this is gorgeous! We got our first home last year and I've been thinking of adding something like this to our primary Bedroom for a heat source. We have central air, but the house is heated with propane 💰💸💰🥲. Heating the room with something like this would be more efficient for us most of the time and would help us save on some cash 😂. Glad to see you posting! 😀

@jeremyspecce 2 жыл бұрын

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.

This looks absolutely beautiful, I think the TV is a perfect size . If it was narrower than the fireplace may have looked odd. The electric has the advantage of having a fire without the heat too. If someone wants a real big screen you could put a crown on top. Then stand the crown off about 3 inches and put a projector screen hidden behind the crown, that rolls down in front of a smaller tv for a real theater experience and a small TV for everyday use. I have a 120 screen in my living room trust me it's amazing for movies.

I need to make sure the remotes for my electronics can access them so I’m thinking of an epoxy river cabinet front above the tv.. idk yet exactly. Thank you for this though, great job.
