Look at the before and after pictures of her fireplace!
What a difference this makes!
This is what I love so much about DIY projects.
This mantel was so incredibly cheap to make.
Its phenomenal how much money we can all save by doing it yourself!
I really wanted my mantel to be a bold statement, but with a very classic look.
To attach to the wall, they used masonry screws to secure 2x6s to the existing brick fireplace.
Then they used an air gun with nails to attach the legs and breastplate to the 2x6s.
