Stain the wood to desired color and screw on the front the metal fireplace screen to give the screen a more authentic fireplace look.

Using the foam 3D brick, simply cut it and stick around where the screen is, it will cover any gaps in your boards used to surround the screen.

Mount to the Wall and Finished!

Find the studs in your wall, mount a 2x4 flat across the wall screwing it in to the studs of the wall, then simply hang the fireplace and mantel by resting it on top of the mounted 2x4. The electrical cord should come out the bottom side to plug in.
