Built-in Cabinets and Fireplace Construction

Let's talk about the idea behind this design. God, I love the look of this space. I want to use all this space, so we're going to extend this built-in closet. It will be completely built-in, actually formed into the wall. So it won't look like a separate piece of furniture. But we'll also put a fireplace in the middle. We'll take a modern stone veneer and raise it all the way to the ceiling. I think this approach will emphasize the angle. So, in a sense, we will embrace it rather than try to hide it. So, the first task is to take 2 by 4 beams and start building the frame. Well, you have sturdy work boots. These are my summer shoes. Don't laugh.

And that's a shame, because I was going for a modern look, but she says people will want to close up and hide their internet router or whatever other accessory they have. So, we're changing plans. I'll putty everything and leave it to dry overnight. In the meantime, I'll try to figure out how to make a door that will look nice here and won't ruin my original idea. Things like that. Let's go back to the drawings. Which camera should I look at? In this one? Fasten your seatbelt. Now there will be a Netflix-worthy story you will never forget. Just kidding. So, this is my first time using Bondo. It would be nice if he was upside down. This is an automotive body filler. I've seen painters use it— it looks phenomenal, works great.
