Diy Brick Fireplace Surround

I felt like y all were giving us a bunch of high fives and it was awesome.

Diy brick fireplace surround.

Mar 22 2014 thanks for all of your sweet comments on my fireplace makeover reveal yesterday. Next was caulk nail screw filler sanding and priming since the crown molding was prefinished cherry wood we made sure the surface was clean and then used zinsser bin shellac primer this primer adheres really well and sands beautifully. We mostly cy worked so hard on that fireplace surround so it was great for us to read all the great positive feedback. Have you long been starting at your old fashioned brick fireplace and surround and wondering how best to update it without actually having to tear the whole thing out.

Well we re pleased to tell you that your patience has finally paid off. Additional corbels were added and a board for the mantel top was cut to sit on top of the crown molding and to fit around the brick. Before we could tile the hearth we covered the brick with 1 4 inch mdf. I wanted to hug all of your necks.

This is the companion video to our recent article on building a rumford style fireplace. That fireplace makeover was literally our first diy project and there were some imperfections that had begun to show so it was time for it to go. Covered brick fireplace update.
