Construct an authentic looking old world den around your fireplace and forget about wear and tear or deterioration.
Wood panel wall around fireplace.
Nov 6 2013 the temps have been seriously dropping around here and we ve got fireplaces on the brain.
One of my three goals this year was to remove the ugly wood paneling from around our fireplace and update the living room.
From slick matchbooked panels to reclaimed boards wood fireplace surrounds are something we re really warming up to.
A homely hearth no more this mantel regained its spark with the help of an ornate diy fireplace surround and a wood plank fireplace wall made of reclaimed white weathered wood paneling.
Well the first half of that goal is finally accomplished.
One trend we ve noticing is wood not only inside the fireplace but on the outside too.
Wood paneled walls often get a bad rap as being dated dark and a serious design challenge.
The white undertones of the wood wall planks play up the noble white patina of the fireplace surround and its fanciful fretwork.
Your home and fireplace design will benefit from the time honored look of tongue and groove wood panels.
One note of caution.
