How to build a Faux Fireplace – and make it glow!

I had a few questions pop up about how I went about installing the faux fireplace in our front room, so I decided to write a more detailed How To tutorial on my process. Unfortunately I did not take a ton of pictures while I was building, but I think I was still able to break it down for those that want to follow alone at home.

One Room Challenge Week 4 – Making Furniture Decisions
So let me start off by saying I’m in full on crunch mode here guys! This is gonna be a photo finish to get everything done but I’m pressing forward and trying to knock all of the big items off of my list. That way if I have to I can put in a whole week of late nights to finish the small details. My husband actually asked me this week if I cloned myself without him knowing, which I’m gonna take as a compliment that crunch time or not I’m making progress.

My amazing dad helped me out big time since we first had to apply a horizontal lining paper to the walls before we could even tackle this…

Here we go again friends – it’s time for the Spring One Room Challenge!!! This is my second time participating (for my first challenge I made over my guest room and you can check out the final reveal here) and I am possibly more excited this time around.
