I was working on this condo flipand wanted to give the family room a modern shiplap fireplace. I thought this was the perfect addition of a shiplap wall that didn’t take over the whole area. I’d seen a shiplap electric fireplace DIY project on TikTok and I knew that it would be a great option for this space. The only thing was, I had to figure out ...
I started with this plain boring wall, identified where the studs are using a stud finder, and marked those with a piece of green painter’s tape. The first thing I did was to create a side frame that would come out perpendicular to the wall. To do this I cut 2 x 4s to the height of the wall. My ceiling height varies because I have an angled ceiling...
I cut one piece to go flush against the wall and another at the height of the ceiling, 9 1/2 inches from the wall. This gives enough depth for the fireplace to sit in the frame, and doesn’t come out so far that the fireplace surround doesn’t take up too much room. I want it to be the focal point of the room without taking over the entire room. Then...
Once both sides frames were installed, I moved on to creating a bottom frame for my measurements. this bottom frame was 50 inches wide and 12 inches high. You can adjust for the height of the fireplace that works for you. I put this together with two additional two by four pieces that supports on the inside this fit perfectly inside my two side fra...
I knew that I wanted to set a fireplace in this space and the fireplace I purchased was 20 inches high. I added 2x4s to help create an area larger than this for the fireplace to sit into and attach to.
For the last part of the build out of the area, I created one more frame. This was the upper frame. Similarly, it was just 2 x 4s up to the ceiling. it looks like a lot but it’s really just screwing 2×4’s together. The measuring and cutting is probably the hardest part since I had that sloped angled ceiling. Once that upper frame was put together I...
One other thing I did was to add some two by fours approximately where I thought the TV would mount. I added and another piece of green tape on the wall where this wood was. This was so that later, when I covered this up, I could still see where the wood for the TV mount was and I could make a mark for it. Behind that section I also added just a co...
OK that was the hard part now let’s get on to the fun part! I cut shiplap pieces and painted them using a paint sprayer. It’s difficult to paint the grooves of shiplap and the sprayer makes that part super easy. The color I used was Sherwin-Williams urbane bronze. While I really like the way my almost black fireplace looks (it gave a really modern ...
Of course, now that I say that, I have to show you that it doesn’t always work. I had a piece here that was bowed out a little and didn’t sit securely enough for me by just nailing it at the tongue piece. So, I did add one more nail to secure it toward the top. I’ll go over this with a little more paint later and make sure it isn’t visible. Using a...
I continued adding shiplap down the front of the front frame, and then, when it came to the fireplace area. I cut out the shiplap a little bit to frame it around the opening. You can do this with a jigsaw or multi tool. I continued working my way down and, I have to admit, I got really lucky that my last piece of shiplap ended exactly on the floor....
