This #FireplaceSurround build was #sponsored by Dimplex. I love my new electric fireplace insert - a Dimplex Opti Myst Pro 1000 - and wanted to show you the process I took to frame and build the surround and install the insert. #ad

“DIY doesn’t take confidence, it takes courage… to fail and learn from your mistakes” I love this!! Great job!! So beautiful!💯
A $5000 electric fireplace?? That's insanity.
I am SOOOOOOOO happy to have found your channel. 😁 You provide the non- intimidating approach to inspire us that have never built anything to at least try. 👍🏾👍🏾 Love it. I am going to build that fireplace in my master. 😃😃😃
Hi Melissa,
I have say I so love this fire place it absolutely make the room go Wow !!
Well done 👍🏼
I’ve spent so many hours in front of a TV growing up.
I’m 46 now and find myself watching more CZcams content than TV content.
That being said, TVs have their place. We typically watch 2 hours max of TV each night, usually from 8-10.
Wow this turned out so great. It has motivated me to do my own. I have been watching lots of videos because I have never built anything so I was worried. But I’m just gonna go for it. Great job.
That is awesome! It is beautiful! There was a lot of hard work that went into this project but you made it look so easy! You are very good at this! I enjoy your videos!
Wow, I absolutely love this! I wanna do that in my new home but with a TV on top and my husband wants us to do it ourselves but I kept telling him No because we have never built anything and I don’t have the patience but you made it look so easy!!! Lol. After watching this I am definitely going to attempt and build it ourselves ☺️
The new women of our society. Independent, smart, and beautiful. More power and vids to come!
She needed help from her man so not really independent
The first step of a long journey is the hardest, except for the next, and then the next, until the journey is done. Beautiful job!
that fireplace in action did look pretty cool
Definitely a OLED TV for that space. Movie nights by the fireplace 😍
That is beautiful, I have learned quite a few things from your projects including A retaining wall for my flower bed keep up the good work you’re amazing!
Amazing craftsmanship, I have worked with many contractors that can’t compare to this. Fantastic!
Great job! I just finished building a fireplace as well, and even though I haven't owned a TV for more than 10 years, I still roughed in the wires and cables just in case the next buyer wants a TV.
Very nice job, Melissa! DIY projects are so rewarding, aren't they?
Awesome job!!! Get a projection screen, you have both worlds that way.
I’m happy to see you don’t have to hook it up to water. I put this one out of the running so I didn’t have to mess with plumbing.
Beautiful! I have no courage. Lol. And I love the outtakes.
Wow that fire is so awesome I have never seen one that is so realistic. I started to watch this and was blown away by the flame size and voracity if you haven’t mentioned that is was not real I would have thought it was out of control.
Wow Melissa you’re videos and projects especially are incredible. You make everything look so easy.
You did an awesome job!! The fireplace looks so realistic.
the fire place looks amazing!
This technology is really great!
It's GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
I like when you said DIY takes courage more than confidence. Thank you for that little gem of an advice.
Absolutely brilliant,Looks really good And your DIY skills are very good.
You had confidence and courage the whole time. Absolutely beautiful job. Great work!!!
“We don’t own a TV and I don’t love them” Didn’t think I would hear that in the age of Netflix lol
If you let quin get away with her being unfaithful to Eric and you kill him off. I will have to stop watching Bold and beauty
I'm don't watch much television either, only a few series on streaming services. I'd rather travel or read.
Yet they have a youtube channel which is basically TV now lol...
I actually have a big screen TV but don't really watch it. I don't watch the news, nonsense TV, and believe it or not...I rarely ever watch movies lol (I always fall asleep and just not my thing). I have basic cable and no Netflix, etc. I like learning shows, and HGTV DIY stuff which is all I really watch. My TV is there for decor, a little entertainment and for guests. I'd rather read a book, be in nature or do something productive at home.
I really liked the outtakes. Loved getting a glimpse into the day to day behind the editing. :)
Glad to hear it Joe, I think I'll include those in most videos.
You are awesome
I've been a general contractor for over 20 yrs. Your advice and ability to teach out is amazing. Thank you.
Way to go Melissa!! Absolutely beautiful job
So pleased to have found your channel. Love your work. Wow fantastic tips and fun to learn things you do to renovate that normal people can also do.
Thanks, absolutely great work and videos!
Love the outtakes at the end! It gives more story to the projects and a glimpse into your busy world 🙂
Very impressive! Love the drive and independence you hold! Most careers have a team and you do this alone (sometimes with paid or safety help). Don’t let others discourage you and don’t let others put their expectations on you. Also, you are your biggest critic, always.
Your work inspires me and my friends to try new things. Keep doing what you enjoy 😊
Thanks so much Will!
I do not have any idea about who gave you a thumbs down! This project really incredible!! You've really done it awesomely. I've decided to subscribe to your channel and I can not wait to see your next projects!! Thank you for sharing that with us.
I love that you did an electric fireplace!
That fireplace looks great, especially since its just water vapour. great outro as well, haha :)
Thanks for taking the time.
love what you did. Great ideas and execution.
Impressive! Your built in built in fireplace is beautiful!!
Love the fireplace... come out perfect. Love the outtakes also... you should always include those... makes it look like REAL life...
I think I will!
Great job! I can’t believe this was your first time building something from scratch!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 omg thank you I’m definitely going to try this 🔥🔥 thank you
that fire place looks very nice great workman ship you got the touch girl!!!!!
thanks for this, I am considering a Dimplex electric fireplace myself for an upcoming reno. I didn't know there could be STEAM and dancing flames!
All I can say is you absolutely killed it!! Fantastic job!!!! I’m a fan
Electric slide 🥰 I love the finished work. I’m team tv, but the kind that looks like art when not in use👍🏾👏🏾
I love your work and your style! Thank you 🙏 for sharing my beautiful lady! Keep it up 👍
This is gorgeous
Great job. It turned out fabulous. Thank you for the inspiration.
LIT... Literally.🔥🔥
So helpful! I've been wanting to install a fireplace outcropping with drywall, but nearly everyone is using shiplap... Cute but not my vibe. This is exactly what I needed for inspiration. Looks lovely!
Agreed 👍
Shiplap is cute but not my vi e either. I'm about to start my DIY fireplace wall and not sure how it will be finished but it won't be shiplap, was thinking stone.
That's the best looking electric fireplace I have ever seen!
Agreed!
Girl, you rocked that. You did an amazing job...
Turned out awesome! Great job!
I'm very happy to see you using eye and ear protection. Thumbs up!
Great Job, Melissa!! Looks beautiful.
The out takes are sooo me and my 3 omg!!! ☺️ Thought I was the only one lol This channel is like an early Christmas gift! Thank you for posting. Soo excited to do this 👏🏼
Nice work! And very encouraging sentiments and DIY courage
It looks really great, nice job!
I have been looking at dimplex opti mist for a while and could not find videos to build a modern surround. Not only is your video perfect it is actually with the product I want to buy! Thank you, money well spent on behalf of the company because I'm going to go out and buy one!.
Coming from a framer\ drywall hanger great job and nice cuts!!
great job, looks awesome i am sure you will enjoy it for many years to come
What a way to had dimension and character to your all’s room and space! Great job. On the TV question: suggest finding another place your home for the TV. TVs above the fireplace look like don’t look good. However to each they’re own. One suggestion is gat some speakers (perhaps even small built-ins for some nice music to go with those amazing dancing flames. May have to put one of those fire places in our outdoor living spaces by the pool.
Wow this is exactly what I needed to see thank you for doing this !
You did an amazing job!
C'est un très joli résultat. Bravo !
Thank you for sharing your project. Job WELL DONE.
Great job on this project. I'm currently in the middle of a large 8'x4' kitchen island build and it is very tedious, however fun. But you are inspiring to watch for sure! Thanks for the videos. And No, don't put TV above the fireplace, it takes away from what is suppose to be the focal point 😉
You are so creative! Thank you for sharing with us.
hi, we can provide you sample of 48ft RGB outdoor string lights, perfect decoration for outdoor patio, balcony or backyard lighting...contact us if you need it, thank you.
Looks great good job
A tip for caulking, the surface needs sealed with primer first then caulk, this will keep the caulk from cracking due to soaking into non sealed surface.
This looks amazing! You are very talented! Unless I missed a video, it would be great to have a tutorial on how to make those beams you have on the ceiling.
Great job. Looks awesome. Deffinitely needs a TV. Family movie night.
Nice job! I had my TV above my fireplace, and didn't like looking up at it, so I moved it to another wall where it is now eye level from my sofa.
Amazing job!!!
Eres una gran trabajadora, yo nunca podría hacer esto, felicitaciones! You are a so so great worker, I couldn’t never to do this, congratulations 🙂
Looks great
👏🏽👏🏽 amazing job!!!
You do great work! I’m in the same boat right now
You are a machine!
Inspiring young person.
And yes, a tv wouldn’t take away from that beautiful fireplace. js
You are a hero!)))
Good job. Looks super nice. Love the style:)
Wow. Wow wow. You are magic. And thanks for this
Girl. You put this together like a boss!!! 🔥
I have multiple sclerosis..wish with every fiber of my being that I had the ability. I’m very creative and have a garage full of tools that I can no longer use. So it’s a bummer. Next best thing though; watching you Melissa build this! You are fantastic and wow what a personality, especially for instructionals such as this. #Humble. Subscribed
Excellent work!!
You did a fantastic job of the fireplace. Great job.

I am very proud of your project, and you are so professional.
great DIY project, very nice fireplace
Super travail👌👌👌🤗🤗🤗 Bravo !!!!!!
You did a great job, I like it ,your a heck of a handy women!!🤙🤙😊
Looks awesome you did a great job
Really impressive, great work Melissa! I wouldn’t opt for a TV. We recently moved and decided not to take our TV, and it’s made a huge improvement in the feel of our living from and the focus family time with our two young kids.
If anything, get a TV for a different room, or even consider a projector, which isn’t as much of visual focal point.
Being TV free was one of the best decisions are family made.
Nice job, looks good, I like the idea.. For future reference sheet rock is usually placed parallel to the floor. There are fibers in the sheet rock that reduce the chance of waves. With the steam from your fireplace insert or propane heat that may show up later.
Thank you I didn't know that!
You did an amazing job❤️❤️
I’m looking for buildout ideas for my living room & 2 years ago I would have voted for the TV however, post pandemic I vote, NO. I haven’t watched TV since late 2019 & will not add one to my new space.
Just subscribed. Awesome and very good articulation. Been a General Contractor for over 30+ years ,and I have to say that you take pride in your' work and your' accomplishments. That alone , means alot. Kudos out to you and your ' family. Wishing you all the best of 2021. Stay safe, and keep up your ' skills and talents. 😊
very nice Melissa good job.
I truly wanna be like you. I love this Video!! I’m tryna do the same but didn’t know where to start but thanks to this video, this is amazing! Thank You
Looks great! Cement sounds intimidating.
