This was the most affordable way for us to achieve the rustic beam mantel look and make the mantel to the exact specifications we desired.
Diy rustic wood mantel.
I always liked the look of those rustic mantels that look like someone chopped a log in half and hung it over the fireplace.
Paint can also be a good way to repeat decorative motifs that are present elsewhere in.

It totally changed the look and feel of the room.
It s really big and awkwardly placed in the room right up against the kitchen peninsula.
I love a good rustic wood mantel and this diy fireplace mantel is my new favorite thing in our house.

I ve never been a huge fan of our brick fireplace.
For my basement fireplace project we were undecided on what to do about the mantel.
Our fireplace renovation is finally complete we built a diy mantel for our fireplace and the end resuls is stunning.
I have to say that i love how the mantel turned out.
For a mantel that s already dark consider a stone piece in a light neutral tone for a more airy feel.

We are happy to.
The pieces of wood used to create this mantel actually look like a solid piece of wood.
Changing the color of stain on a diy rustic mantel can reveal patterns in the grain or can help tie in with other wood pieces in the room.
Thanks for supporting the brands that support love.
It has a reclaimed vintage feel.
It made me want to go back and create some faux rustic beam floating shelves for my house.
