We wanted a fireplace mantel surround that resembled a stone or a cast stone European style fireplace, but without the price! See how we built our new mantel area for the living room focal point.

WOW! You Guys, together, nailed it! I saw this European look "cast stone" just today and loved it but no way can I afford the 2+ grand!!! Single Female here, I really want to attempt this by myself. I'm limited on tools at the moment, how can I hide the screw holes without this Krugs (?) tool please? THANK YOU BOTH FOR SHARING!!! PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR HOME PROJECTS!!!!!! Trish, Granite Falls, NC
Stunning mantel and surround! So beautiful in every way. Your husbands skills are truly amazing! Thanks Kevin for sharing the work you did. Praise God for his talent. Most beautiful European fireplace ever seen! You are right the curves are glorious. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. 🧡👏🏆

Yes, he did amazing work! Thank you!
What didn't wrap it in durrock since you shouldn't have wood right next to fireplace?
Absolutely stunning piece. And I don't think "settle" is the right word. It looks as though it's been there for decades and that it came with the house. And that whole room looks fab too.

Best comment yet! I'm so glad you think it fits in and looks right at home. That makes me so happy to hear!
it turned out absolutely beautiful. I see people cover the wood with hardy backer boards or drywall first before plastering. is that not necessary?
It looks nice and goes well with your Old World decor! I hope someday you happen upon a marble one at a yard sale for $50, lol,

Thanks Cynthia! I sure hope someday I land that deal too! Haha!
Hi. Great job! I’m trying to find your video regarding color for the fireplace and can’t seem to find it. Can you please share the colors or the link to the video. Thank you!!
Wow I am impressed! Even here in Europe they cost a fortune €€€. Years ago I was gifted a marble French fireplace surround by my uncle who lived in France. It still sits in the shed because I don’t know how to attach it🤣
Any updates? Has it cracked?
Wow! what is next? it turned out beautiful. I love the curves on it. You would not know it wasn't a real stone. The thing is you 2 can figure out anything. My Dad was a carpenter and I would go to him with a drawing and ask him to make it. I miss him so much. You did a great job. Happy Thanksgiving! Joyce

Thank you Joyce! Next, it's time to decorate it for Christmas! Haha! How lucky of you to have had a dad to help you with that too. My dad is gone too, and he owned a construction company. I wish he were here to help with our landscaping! I miss him too. I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.
Is it a problem if the wood is so close to the opening? I thought there needed to be a 6 inch space between opening and the wood mantel.
what is the herringbone brick on the inside of your fireplace?
You seem to like the shape but not the texture. You should look into plaster with a high sheen. It gives the stone look you want with the right texture and sheen of rock since it is actually ground up rock. Also smoother. Also cheap and long lasting. The shape and color is absolutely gorgeous and it really reminds me of Spanish style fireplaces.
Combustible materials are to be 12" away from the firebox on the sides and 16" on top.
Gorgeous! Can I ask where you got the beautiful piece of artwork above the fireplace? Ok edit because I just saw it’s a tv… the first piece was a picture of crocks and pottery….I am in love with that piece!!
Is that firebrick or tile in the firebox? Can you actually have a fire in there?
Brilliant! Nothing like a handy-MAN. Honey got skills. / Peggy

Haha! I sure love having him around. He doesn't love doing video with me, so he gets extra bonus points for that.
What did you do with your old mantle? Hope it was ok to ask...
Love it! Can you share what you used for the backsplash?

Oh, sorry Shelby. I didn't mention that in this video. If you want to go back and watch my Frame TV video, I show more of that but it is a travertine tile from Floor and Decor. It's super pretty.

This is gorgeous!! Will it work for a wood burning fireplace ?
Nice job, too much yammering and useless banter.
