I wanted something unique and cozy, with a touch or rustic farmhouse flare. That is when I thought about creating a fake fireplace. I know you may be thinking of those store bought mantel/fireplace with the fake flame and all that jazz. No. if that is your jam then that is great! But, that is not what I wanted. I had wanted a real fireplace in my bedroom for along time. It is the coldest room in the house and the other fireplaces just don’t heat it well. Being one that dislikes using our furnace for a multitude of reasons(it makes me feel claustrophobic, I like radiant heat better, its expensive, I just don’t like it), I knew I needed to find another way to create a fireplace in my bedroom.
