And just because I always get asked “Where is your TV?!”, I’ll quickly answer that we chose not to put a TV in our living room. Instead we built a full home theater room in our basement. For more info and to see pictures of it, visit our Theater Room Sources Page and/or our Basement Sources Page.
Hello,
Can you please tell me the material you used for the fireplace paneling? It is beautiful and we would love to recreate in our homemade we are building! ๐ thank you so much!
Hi, it’s called shiplap. We have a tutorial here: https://www.ahousewebuilt.com/shiplap/
Can you give me some tips as to where to source the wood mantle? I’ve been looking online but have not found anything similar?
Thanks!
You’d have to try locally – I don’t think it’s the kind of thing you can really ship to be honest – it’s like 300 pounds O_o
Hi! What floors are you using through out the main living room/ kitchen? thank you!
All our flooring is listed in the post ^.
Can you tell me the height from the floor to the bottom of the fireplace and the height from the floor to the bottom of the mantle?
Sorry I don’t remember those offhand. We just based on what looked good to our eye.
Obsessed with your home- simply stunning! Doing a similar wall in living room and was wondering- Can you tell me the size of the bumpout wall? mainly the length and depth? ALso- the size of each individual shiplap piece? Also- is your firebox 50 inch? Why did you choose the dimplex ? We are looking at the napoleon alluravision. Thx!
Hi – thank you! ๐ I don’t like to give out specific dimensions as I don’t want anyone to specifically replicate our home, it’s only shown for general inspiration. Our fireplace is linked to our size in the post, and we chose it just because it was the look we were looking for and we’d heard good things about it, but it’s not specifically better or worse than any other one.
Hi! I love your fireplace wall and have pinned it so many times ๐ We are considering building one ourselves. Do you have a โhow toโ on bumping out the wall and how to secure the fireplace? My husband is handy but I think we need a guide! Any info is appreciated! Thanks!
Hi! It’s framed the same way a normal wall would be framed ๐
Hi~ in your IG post, you stated that you attached the wood beam with just a few pieces of steel. Can you tell me what fixtures you used to attach it to the wall instead of the traditional brackets? Thanks!
They’re just steel L brackets bolted to the beam and the stud. Like just standard chunky ones.
Hi there! Beautiful home! Did you paint the window framing yourselves? Or did you buy them like that? If you bought them, are you able to tell me where? If you painted them, what is the best paint to use?
Thanks so much!
Our windows are all custom made, fiberglass. They are made with a factory paint finish as part of the custom process.
What are the dimensions of your beautiful mantel?
It’s actually irregular – up to 3″ different on each side since it’s a hand hewn barn beam ๐
Can you please tell me the colour of your Structube Sectional and armchair. The โKinseyโ comes in colours Copper or Caramel. Thank you โบ๏ธ
Caramel ๐
Hi
Thank you fir sourcing all your designs. But are your baseboards simply white as well? If so, are the walls flat paint?
Yes, there is only one white paint color in our house ๐
Thank you so much for sharing all of this information. Your home is beautiful beyond words and I really appreciate your kindness in sharing it with the world!!!
You’re so welcome! And thank you ๐
Trying to find a true white in a Sherman Williams paint. How do your walls painted in flat hold up?
Ours do hold up well but we use BM, not SW, for our white.
Hello!
The ceilings in your living room are very high! Do you have pot lights or any light fixtures?
Beautiful home!
Yes, we have recessed lighting in all our ceilings throughout our home.
