Fireplace Remodel and Built-in

 Originally, there was a brick fireplace here with a gas stove insert and a brick veneer that went all the way up the wall.  The customer was looking for a more modern look so we took down the veneer, patched the drywall, applied marble tile to the fireplace, and added a contemporary mantel.

We built the mantel over a plywood box that we framed around the existing fireplace.  Several layers of poplar give the mantel straight, clean lines.

Lastly, we added a built-in cabinet, which we built in our shop.  The cabinet has an 18" base cabinet with doors, and the upper section is an open shelf area.  Both the cabinet and mantel will be painted.
