"Take a look at what she created! This fireplace now looks so sophisticated and luxurious with a new paneled wood surround, a decor-ready mantel, and box molding above. And get ready for the best part: It cost only $400. Yes, really! Sticking to a DIY makeover kept costs low, and the only materials needed were various cuts of plywood and trim, as well as paint."
"The second I feel a slight breeze in the air, I'm ready for cozy season - think: thick sweaters, warm blankets, and gorgeous fireplaces. I'm lucky enough to have a gas fireplace in my home but have been feeling for a while that it could use a refresh. I love looking through our fireplace before and afters for inspiration because so many of them aren't just gorgeous - they're also really affordable and totally doable within the span of a weekend."
A gas fireplace was refreshed with a paneled wood surround, a decor-ready mantel, and box molding to create a sophisticated, luxurious focal point. The DIY project used various cuts of plywood, trim, and paint and cost about $400. Paneling across the hearth front produced a cohesive, finished look that visually integrates with the remaining exposed brick. A neutral putty paint color blended with the brick to make the fireplace appear original to the space rather than a later addition. The makeover is achievable within a weekend and demonstrates how modest materials and carpentry can dramatically upgrade a room.
