This is the 3rd together with finally purpose of a serial for edifice Bookcases inwards my bedroom. For the kickoff purpose click HERE.
At the destination of the second post, this is how the bookcases looked.
The electrical fireplace (affiliate link) had arrived together with it was hung onto 2 2x4's inwards the middle of the 2 bookcases. It was fourth dimension to brand it hold off pretty.
I wanted to enclose the fireplace, together with therefore out of MDF a front end human face upward was cut, the within of the cut-out was the perfect stand upward for for the fireplace simply the persuasion didn't work! It was together with therefore tight plumbing equipment that it was impossible to hang the fireplace. I wanted to locomote able to accept the fireplace off the wall at whatever given moment, similar if the lights for the flames move out together with I get got to alter them. This vogue didn't allow for that. It was to a greater extent than similar a permanent solution that I didn't want.
One extra occupation I encountered was the apartment cut down I had previously attached at the front end sides of the bookcases. Whatever I was trying to stand upward for inwards betwixt both bookcases didn't acquire in. I took it off, it was a hurting on the cervix to acquire rid of it. The mucilage had hardened pretty well, every fourth dimension I managed to pray away an extra slice I hope myself to never position cut down on the outside, earlier edifice the inside. I intend I learned that lesson. :/
Since the kickoff conception for a "flat-front enclosed fireplace" didn't work, my side yesteryear side deed was to build a small-scale cubbie below the fireplace together with a uncomplicated mantel higher upward it.
This is how the cubbie was done:
This is the mantel.
On tumble out of the mantel a chunky shelf was drilled inwards place.
The dorsum was painted chalkboard black. I also painted a 1/4" plywood to stand upward for within the cubbie. If I alter my quest heed I tin accept it off together with is white again.
Finally, 1/2" MDF was cutting inwards 3" stripes to laissez passer on the overmantel a prissy pattern together with to comprehend the gaps on the sides together with the electrical hole at the tumble out (that tumble out purpose was screwed inwards house to get got slow access after on).
All the small-scale moldings were the finally touch.
Then I was inwards a pigment marathon! I used Kilz 2 Latex to prime number the whole unit. Behr Swiss Coffee - Semi-gloss complete was used every bit the tumble out coat.
And they were DONE!
Some accessories.
