Imagine walking into your living room and feeling welcomed by the warmth and charm of a beautiful fireplace. Recently, Right Way Construction took on an exciting project in Littleton, Colorado. We had the opportunity to install an electric fireplace finished with reclaimed wood and topped with a magnificent reclaimed beam mantel. This project not only beautified the room but also increased its functionality while staying within budget.

Understanding the Client's Vision

The homeowners approached us with a clear dream: they wanted to create a warm atmosphere in their living room, which had never had a fireplace. They loved the unique character that reclaimed wood adds to a space but were also cautious about their spending. We suggested an electric fireplace as a cost-effective alternative that still offered the charm they craved.

During our discussions, we learned they envisioned a design that would mesh with their existing décor. Additionally, they needed a sturdy structure for mounting a television above the fireplace. Drawing on our extensive experience in home remodeling, we were excited to bring this vision to life.

Sourcing the Reclaimed Wood

Sourcing reclaimed wood can be a rewarding challenge. Each piece tells its own story and has unique characteristics that can impact its use. Fortunately, after searching local suppliers, we found beautiful reclaimed planks with rich color and character. For instance, these planks exhibited a grain pattern that added depth to the overall design, perfectly aligning with the homeowner's desire for a rustic yet elegant look.

The weathered texture and hues evoked a sense of history that the homeowners found particularly appealing.

The Installation Process

With the materials in hand, we set to work. Our first priority was to create a strong framing structure that would support both the electric fireplace and the television above. Safety was essential; thus, we ensured the structure met the highest standards.

After completing the framing, we wrapped the electric fireplace in reclaimed wood. Every effort was made to keep seams neat, ensuring a cohesive appearance. The reclaimed beam selected for the mantel became a stunning focal point, enhancing the overall design.

Our craftsmanship never wavered during the installation. Each cut and detail mattered when working with reclaimed wood. This impactful dedication is what sets Right Way Construction apart.

Enhancing Functionality

While aesthetics were essential, we knew enhancing functionality was equally important. The homeowners expressed a desire to use the fireplace area for their television and other decorative items.

To accommodate this, we reinforced the frame to ensure secure mounting for the TV. This thoughtful approach maximized both the space's utility and its overall visual appeal. Moreover, the design allows for easy access to outlets and cable management, keeping the living room tidy.

Final Touches and the Big Reveal

After the installation was complete, we applied a protective finish to the reclaimed wood. This not only enhanced the wood's natural color but also provided long-lasting protection.

When it was time for the homeowners to experience their transformed living space, their delight was palpable. The electric fireplace, wrapped in rich woods and crowned with a reclaimed beam mantel, created an inviting focal point in their home.
