Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for t Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for the supplies we used!🔥

When I say this design came to me in a dream I quite literally mean it haha it really came to me in my sleep. I had been thinking about how to make the overmantel work since the stone structure placement kind of made it more difficult.

Putting 2x4s up the wall allowed us to place the shiplap over the top part of the stone and took it out from the wall a little bit. Then Craig built the mantel over the existing stone one - which by the way was the worst mantel that ever existed. It was only about 3 inches deep, it was completely uneven, and it was tilted forward. So basically it was impossible to get anything to really stay on the mantel. Useless lol. Now I have a nice big mantel I can style and put up Christmas decorations and it just looks amazing. 

Overmantel paint color: @sherwinwilliams Worldly Gray
Mantel stain: Minwax Special Walnut
