So here's the thing. I love decorating a fireplace for all the holidays, especially during fall and winter. It's the perfect time to bring out all the festive home decor pieces. Wouldn't you know it since my husband has been in the Army we have not had a house with a fireplace. I finally said that's it, we need a  home with a fireplace. No, we didn't move. Instead I built a faux fireplace that we can take with us wherever the military sends us.
Here's what you will need to make your faux fireplace:
Wood sizes and lengths:
  • 1 - 1x12x10
  • 1 - 2x8x6
  • 1 - 1x8x8
  • 1 - 1x6x10
  • 2 - 1x4x10

Materials for assembly:
  • Miter saw (or have your local hardware store cut all the pieces for you.)
  • Brad Nailer
  • 1  1/2" 18 gauge brad nails
  • Power drill
  • 3 inch screws
  • Stain 
  • White Paint (satin or semi gloss)
  • Wood Glue
  • ​Sand paper
  • Corbels *optional
This is what your project will look like as you start assembling everything:

Today I have come publicly to let everyone who cares to listen and willing to bring back their lost heart desires . My name is Willie Trunk from Georgia, USA. I came here to testify about a legitimate spell caster Dr Ozigidon, who helped me to reunite with my Ex-husband after 3 years of divorce. I contacted him on Whats-App (+2349054750112) after reading so many testimonies of his powerful spell and within 72 hours my husband and I were reunited. Today our marriage is filled with more love like we never had a divorce. I appreciate the good work of Dr Ozigidon and I am recommending him with trust to everyone who wants their heart desires back or have fertility challenges. Contact his email (drozigidonhenz.spell.net@gmail.com) With all confidence, you shall give a great testimony.
