Very helpful! Thank you for posting.

[@DaniLynDesign]

You’re welcome! Thank you for the support

[@uyiosa9115]

This is absolutely beautiful! May I ask the size of the Portola paint you used. Was it one gallon or quart?

[@DaniLynDesign]

Thank you! I was able to get away with just the quart since the fireplace isn’t super big.

Thanks for posting in detail! Did you recess your tv?

[@DaniLynDesign]

Sooo that was the plan, but then I didn’t account for the dry wall when I fit the tv to the wood frame. It sits back in to the recessed section but won’t lay completely flat in to it like I was originally planning on. I was going to build a frame for it. Oh well, live and learn!

Hi, can you share the brand of cement you used? It’s absolutely beautiful

[@DaniLynDesign]

Yes! It’s portola paints in the color Roman clay

What size nails did you use to put into both 2x4s?

[@DaniLynDesign]

I believe I used 3 1/2 inch screws to ensure it was secured
