“DIY doesn’t take confidence, it takes courage… to fail and learn from your mistakes” I love this!! Great job!! So beautiful!💯

Hi Melissa, I have say I so love this fire place it absolutely make the room go Wow !! Well done 👍🏼

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. 😃😃😃

I’ve spent so many hours in front of a TV growing up. I’m 46 now and find myself watching more KZread 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, 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 ☺️

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.

The new women of our society. Independent, smart, and beautiful. More power and vids to come!

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.

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!

Awesome job!!! Get a projection screen, you have both worlds that way.

You are awesome I've been a general contractor for over 20 yrs. Your advice and ability to teach out is amazing. Thank you.

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.

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!

A $5000 electric fireplace?? That's insanity.

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.

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!

It's GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

This technology is really great!

that fireplace in action did look pretty cool

Very nice job, Melissa! DIY projects are so rewarding, aren't they?

You did an awesome job!! The fireplace looks so realistic.

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!

Way to go Melissa!! Absolutely beautiful job

Thanks for taking the time.

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!

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 😉

I like when you said DIY takes courage more than confidence. Thank you for that little gem of an advice.

Wow Melissa you’re videos and projects especially are incredible. You make everything look so easy.

Absolutely brilliant,Looks really good And your DIY skills are very good.

Electric slide 🥰 I love the finished work. I’m team tv, but the kind that looks like art when not in use👍🏾👏🏾

This is gorgeous

LIT... Literally.🔥🔥

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 🙂

love what you did. Great ideas and execution.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 omg thank you I’m definitely going to try this 🔥🔥 thank you

the fire place looks amazing!

I love your work and your style! Thank you 🙏 for sharing my beautiful lady! Keep it up 👍

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.

Beautiful! I have no courage. Lol. And I love the outtakes.

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!.

I love that you did an electric fireplace!

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.

great job, looks awesome i am sure you will enjoy it for many years to come

You are amazing !! Good for you!, you are an inspiration truly!

Great job. It turned out fabulous. Thank you for the inspiration.

Wow this is exactly what I needed to see thank you for doing this !

Looks great

that fire place looks very nice great workman ship you got the touch girl!!!!!

You’re absolutely Amazing ❤

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.

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.

Great Job, Melissa!! Looks beautiful.

Nice work! And very encouraging sentiments and DIY courage

Looks great good job

You had confidence and courage the whole time. Absolutely beautiful job. Great work!!!

courage.. and Patience Pay Off. You have done very well in the planning phases, not to mention acquisition and getting materials on site (that's the other 90% of the work). awesome. Ck Maintenance

I'm very happy to see you using eye and ear protection. Thumbs up!

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.

Thank you for sharing your project. Job WELL DONE.

Wow. Wow wow. You are magic. And thanks for this

All I can say is you absolutely killed it!! Fantastic job!!!! I’m a fan

It looks really great, nice job!

Turned out awesome! Great job!

You are a machine! Inspiring young person. And yes, a tv wouldn’t take away from that beautiful fireplace. js

Looks good

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 😊

Ficou lindo 👏👏👏

You did an amazing 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.

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

That is wicked cool!

Excellent work!!

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.

Cool fireplace

Love ❤️ it good job

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

Great job, that’s all I have to say!

We bought a house with a large fireplace with television hookups above the fireplace. The television ended up being too high to watch comfortably. We hung a mirror there instead and moved the television elsewhere. We now have moved and I miss having that large fireplace, even though we rarely used it because it's too hot where we live. I'm looking to build an electric fireplace in my living room, the electric fireplaces have a no-heat setting. That is nice, no more melted chocolate in our Christmas stockings.

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.

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.

very nice Melissa good job.
