It's my mom's birthday this month so I built her a custom stone fireplace wall with a walnut mantel and tv mount. Then I wrapped it up and revealed it on her birthday! Full step-by-step easy to follow fireplace wall build video with narration. Framing a fireplace wall, building a walnut beam mantel, installing stone veneer on fireplace, adding led pot lights.

A suggestion for anyone mounting a TV on a wall. A TV is not art work so don’t hang it high. Ideally it should be at a height where your eyes are at the midpoint of the screen when you’re sitting down.
Making something for your Mum that in turn makes her proud of her son.... that's absolutely priceless!!! Top job!!

It made me want to cry. Plus all the beautiful happiness all around not just him and mom but of the kids and wife (I'm assuming). Great job. Beautiful job.
You’re a great son! I love seeing men do things like this for their mom 💕
To quote Norman Bates from Psycho, "A boy's best friend is his mother"
Stone looks great. I would replace the tv mount with a mantel mount to bring the tv down over the fireplace so the viewing angle is better and can be easily moved back above the mantle afterwards.
I am not a pro, but a suggestion for anyone attempting this build, use cement backer board or wonder board instead of particle board, and always use a cement thin set that is rated to hold the tile or in this case, the stack stone you are using.
Yes. That's what my dad put for my house. Same build as well!
Exactly
Yeah unless you're installing this in a wet place, like your bathroom, cement backer boards aren't even close to being necessary. Good thing you're not a pro...
@@zimvader25 My SUGGESTION of cement board or wonder board may be over kill but its safe. I see you didn't comment on using a thin set that is rated for the stone or tile that is being installed so i guess thats how you would do it. Good thing ur not a pro either.
No one here is a pro so you all can shut it 😂
As a Mom I’ll say that is a gesture of pure love. Amazing. The fireplace is beautiful, too. ❤️❤️
I once hand-knitted a cosy winter scarf for my mum and when I gave it to her she cried
What a beautiful heartfelt gift for your Mum!
This is one of the nicest projects I’ve ever seen on KZhead. And the bonus reveal for Mom’s special day was priceless. Well done Sir. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Your parents raised you right. You represent what's right in our society. "Happy Birthday Mom."
Absolutely beautiful!!! Blessings for you and your family🙏
The wrapping!!! 🥹 So sweet! Such a beautiful gift!
Great build and I love that you did it for your parents. I hope my kids are so thoughtful. For those looking here, I would suggest for the corners they buy panels that have corner pieces. And I would suggest running a chalk line from the bottom to make sure the stone is installed level. Also, would probably use cement backboard because it's less expensive and has better adhesion.
what a beautiful thing! Great job, sir! And what a great gift for mom.....I'm sure she loved it! - I did! Thank you!
Nothing makes my heart smiles more than a Son doing something special for his Mom ♥️
Awww, you're an awesome son!!! What a beautiful gift!❤
Such a special gift for your mom. I know that she will treasure it always 1) because it's beautiful and 2) her son made it for her. I know your mom must be very very proud of all you do. It's so sweet that you do things for your parents. You're a good son!
What a lovely addition to this living room. I'm in awe how good it looks. You are amazing, and a wonderful son.
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You did an amazing job. The devil tried to put a damper on your greatness with that mishap but you didn’t let that stop you. Happy birthday mom!
What a wonderful son you are! I bet your Mom is happy she has you!
Looks amazing, for me personally though I would not like my tv mounted that high, so when lounging on the couch I have too look up, also to get the best colour and contrast you are supposed too have your middle of the screen in your eye line view. Never the less a great present and it looks awesome good job.
Really nice and great gift, but just one very critical mention for anyone wanting to do something like this: be careful with the height of the TV. This TV, while beautiful, is technically too high and would make you have to look up the whole time watching, ending up being uncomfortable for longer periods. Just think of sitting in the front row of a movie theater and that feeling of looking up all he time. It's good for show, but not for watching TV. Hate to be critical or rain on the parade, but it's a very common mistake people make when building these, and I hope to help others from making it. TV stands are made a certain height for a reason. If it's your main place for watching TV or movies, start with putting the TV at the proper height, Google it, and then build around it from there. If it's not your main place, and it's mainly for show, have at it, because it is pretty.
As someone who does this sort of thing professionally, I agree. The TV center line should be just slightly above your eye level when sitting. Anything higher becomes uncomfortable. Somewhere around 54" to center is a good starting point for a living room, 60" to center for a bedroom. It's a good place for art, not a TV.
good point!
It is so beautiful, has different modes and colors and flame speed. I bought a 42 inch for my 55inch tv and it sure came out well
Stove arrived in great shape, no damage during shipping. Easy to assemble. Works great, we are very happy with the way it heats.
the gift to your mom is priceless. God bless you all!!
Wow your mom looks great!!!! This was so sweet ❤
Wow amazing, Happy Birthday to your beautiful mom 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
lol awe this made me cry. Wishin my mom was still around so I could make her a beautiful fireplace
Beautiful project! Really nice amount of specific instructions. Perfect video editing. Thank you!
Defenetly need something like this at my house. Specially for mom♥️♥️
Simply gorgeous
Wow ,that's really beautiful Drew ,Happy Birthday Drew's mom !!! 😊🎉🎂🍨🎈🎈🎈🎁🎊
Beautiful!! Great job and such a wonderful gift for your Mom ❤️❤️❤️
Your video was on my home feed today. I've wanted to do something similar in my family room. Thank you for posting your project. I'd love to find a person to build this for me and I can use your project as a guide and inspiration. My husband and I are handy but not that ambitious so hiring it out sounds like a better idea. Love how it turned out.
what a beautiful gift. Priceless!!!
Beautiful!!!!! Happy Bday !!!!!
absolutely gorgeous!!
This came out beautiful! Loved this video from beginning to end ❤
Hi Drew...you are a great son. God bless and protect you always!🙏👍😁 Awesome video! Brought tears to my eyes...💞💕💗💕💞
Patiently and meticulously designed and executed . Lovely and happy family now.
It’s beautiful! You’ve got a lot of talent!
I hardly ever watch a full video this long! its 1:48am and I have watched 3 of your videos! Just found your channel and I love, love your work! Keep it up! 🥰
looks really good!! one thing i'd say for those who would want to make one of these would be to leave more space without bricks where the tv bracket is. why? because each year the holes behind the tv for the mount will change positions and you may need to reposition your bracket. i worked on tv installs for a few years and i had to repositions so many brackets some as much as 1ft and then the bricks are in the way and you gotta break it and stuff. so maybe leave a bigger gap just so it'll be easier to mount your tv if you have to replace it.
Awesome work- I will tune in again when I get ready to build my fire place. What a wonderful mother day gift.
You do BEAUTIFUL work! Such a wonderful gift for your, Mama ~❣️
Wow, that’s absolutely beautiful!! Nicely done!❤️
My god Drew! What an excellent job and an amazing Present! I wish I was as handy and skilled as you are.
Wow, that’s absolutely beautiful!! Nicely done!️. Beautiful! Love the stuff you build!.
Absolutely beautiful. I know your mom loves it
Awesome job! Looks stunning and such a nice thing to do for your mum. Love the videos and keep up the good work! 😊
Absolutely stunning!
Happy birthday mom. Dude I appreciate that u did this for her.
Great video - love that you left the part in where the piece fell off the wall! One comment: I would be wearing safety glasses when using a wet saw myself. Subscribed!
Thanks for watching! I have been trying to add more safety gear as I do more builds. Breaking the bad habits
Looks very similar to what I’ve built in my living room. Good job.
Cool! 😎👍
You sir are the REAL MVP!!! 🙌🏽
Awww... Your mom must be so proud. I would just over the TV for viewing comfort.
Wow! I was mesmerized the whole video. I wish I had a talent like this.
Right...was saying that while watching the video...Ill be making everything...Lol
Beautiful! Love the stuff you build!
Thank you 😃
That is very cool. You are good Son. Looks Amazing.🎉 Happy Birthday Mum, enjoy your SURPRISE!
You did an amazing job .Happy birthday mom
Fantastic channel Drew. Loved that you did this for your parents. Great job bro.
Would you be willing to share the brand of fireplace insert you used? It was a nice choice and looked great with your design.
Wow, boy, you can indeed build stuff. Loved it
What a super sweet son you are! 🥰🥰 Beautiful job ♥️
not only can you build amazing but you can also do electrical work it looks amazing and you pretty much did it all by your self ! so cool
kek
I can’t help but notice that you barely even used a level, yet this build came out so perfect. Wow. Great work man. Your mom has got to be really proud of you for this. Amazing work
well he doesnt record everything lmao
@@Guape be that as it may, there’s always a hater somewhere.
@@GreenChronicles561 how is it hating? its common sense my guy. You think he built this in 12 minutes???? LMAO its a video
Great, that's what I've always done, but never did. I'll definitely do it, like you. 👍
Your parents are awesome and you’re such a great son. 👍🏻
Mom "thats mice honey, but now I have to look up so much and my neck hurt"
Without putting a downer on this awesome thing you did with awesome skills... How to people who have TVs above fireplaces not all have achey necks?
A lot of people have mentioned it and we have been using it for over 6 months now with no complaints. We are a tall family though so maybe that’s why 🤷♂️
@@DrewBuildsStuff Ha yeah maybe! It looks so smart. I just worry my short ass would succumb to the achey neck if I did something similar
Amazing!
I've been getting recommendations for a few built-in fireplace/TV setups lately, this is the nicest one so far (or at least matches my taste). Well done!
Ah, man, that shot of you and your mom near the end was awesome! Great job!
Looks great! I'm wondering a few things: how high did you mount the fireplace off the ground? How much space is on either side of the fireplace to the edge of the build out?
Thats absolutely AMAZING!!! I’ve been wanting one of this for years!!! Your mom is definitely proud of you! GOOD JOB!!!!!!
You are a good son. She is sooooo proud of you!!!! Good job!
A homemade gift is better than anything store bought. It looks very nice. When you said you were feeling loopy, I thought it was because of the Bud Light lol. Glad you got over the Covid.
Thanks!
How much will it cost to make one like that?
Best entertainment for the day ! Beautiful work and great present for your mom❣️🌹🌿
Wow. That looks fantastic!!!
Hi! I absolutely love. Where did you buy that white stone tile??
This is the first video that I see and I must say you made that look so easy! AND it turned out great! It's great that you did that for your mom! 2 Thumbs up Drew!
Beautiful ❤
Awesome! What a perfect gift!!! 👌
Can you share the brand and model of the fireplace insert
This is a nice build you did here ! I might mistaken but did you hide junction boxes behind the stone wall ? I don't know about where you live in Canada, but in Quebec it is forbidden by the electrical code to hide junction boxes...
It is forbidden everywhere. You need to leave them serviceable. These people are idiotic hacks.
God bless you bro. That was so heart warming. I miss my mom. 😔
How wonderful. You are an inspiration.
This looks amazing! My wife wants me to do something like this *cough exactly like this cough*. Question though, when you ran the lag bolts in for the TV Mount, were they ran into the new studs or only into the OBX sheathing? I was trying to pay more attention to that part but it was hard to tell.
I would definitely try to make sure it goes into studs and whole framework attached into the stud in existing wall as well. TV over 65 inch is very heavy...
The TV set seems too high😅
It looks amazing, great job 👏
Great job man. Looks great
Your poor mom. You took her nicely placed TV and put it up crazy high. Next birthday, you'll be paying for her neck adjustment
Haha everybody spends all day looking down at their phones, maybe this will cancel that out? 🤷♂️
The same mistake most people make when mounting a tv to a wall - far too high. A tv should be at eye level when you’re seated. Other than that it’s a nice job.
I can't imagine watching a movie like this.
Was just about to post the same comment. Looks great but completely non-functional. If you want a TV and fire, put the electrical fire above the TV. Also heat from the fire will kill most TV's, particularly OLED TVs.
A fire place above the TV? Wtf are you talking about?
Same thing I was going to comment. Usually people in the US are forced to mount it this ridiculously high over fire places but he willingly made it that high.
I’ve got a fireplace tv Mount which swing the tv away from the wall and drops it down by 2.5 foot. Which is perfect for this sort of setup
Wow...absolutely beautiful 😍
Wow it’s looking high end product beautiful
The TV was at the proper high before the remodel.
I came here to comment this. The workmanship is amazing though.
Agreed, the skill, effort and intentions are good, but if someone changed the height of my TV like that, I wouldn’t be happy. Unwatchable. Can’t tell how big the room is, but maybe a Mantel Mount could solve for it, otherwise this is a downgrade for anyone that actually uses their TV
What a wholesome video, remarkable. Loved it..
Wow Drew! Fabulous! Hope your Mum had a very happy birthday
I really don’t understand why all of a sudden everyone is putting their TVs close to the ceiling when they should be at eye level when you’re sitting down…..
