My biggest project to date–I have completed it! I successfully built my own cabinets and bookshelves (or DIY built ins) around my fireplace. And guess what? They. Look. Awesome!! I’m not one to brag about myself but I’m actually very proud of this project. It’s the culmination of my years of work, learning, and efforts.

Here’s the before (when we were about to move in):
Then I built the mantel last year which you can check out here.
And here’s the finished product!
I mean seriously…these built-ins have just taken this space over the top.  The room feels luxurious and custom and is literally everything I hoped and dreamed it would be someday.  And now nearly every square inch of the main living area is covered in wainscoting haha!  Maybe now I will take the time to work on some other spaces.  It’s hard for me to do that if the main area isn’t just how I want it.
Suggested materials:
  • Paint
  • Sandpaper
