Hello Again my Beauties!


I have such a fun DIY project for you today.


As I have been mentioning on Facebook


I decided to do some FAUX ShipLap...you know..


SHIP LAP...from FIXER UPPER.


Let me start this project by Reminding you what the fireplace


I was going to be making over looked like in the beginning.
Way back in my blogging career I made over this Goodwill Fireplace.


I loved scoring this electric fireplace and mantel for only $79


and making it the center point of my living room.


But as much as I loved it, I always felt that it felt DISCONNECTED


from the room.


I had gone back and forth on what I wanted to do


but could just never make a final decision.


I had toyed with faux brick but thought it would look weird only doing a small section above the fireplace.


Then after multiple episodes of Fixer Upper


I decided to do a simple shiplap style backing.
So over the years, this is how it looked (all the decor had already been taken down before I remembered to take the picture)


I started with my blank slate to prepare for my shiplap.


To see all the photos and the full tutorial just hop on over to my blog artisbeauty.net


I have lots more makeovers coming up so stay tuned


for more DIY in the coming weeks.


Until next time,


Go make someones day BEAUTIFUL!
