What would you think about pallet wood with a little sealer on it to give it a shine? Or a slightly dark stain? Try it on a scrap piece first.
I bet it’s going to look great whatever you do.

Paint? More pallet wood? Any advice would be fantastic. Thank you for the instructions – just what I needed!

Elisa,

I’m sorry-I don’t really have any advice since this is a guest post. I’ve never done a faux mantel. Have you tried looking on pinterest or a google image search?

I have a faux fireplace and want to put in a panel of faux brick but am having difficulty finding one to fit or I can trim to fit. I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you,
Elisa

Maggie,

This wasn’t my project, it was a guest post, but I’m guessing Mimi used a 1×8 like the other boards that framed the mantel piece.

I love the fireplace mantle. I especially liked the directions. If gave me inspiration to build my own mantle/ faux fireplace. I am a beginner put it turned out pretty well. Thanks for the inspiration. I plan on adding a ;ink to your blog on my blog because of the great instructions.
Take Care

I’m a little intimidated with power tools and depend on hubby for that – but I’ll keep trying!
