Construct an integrated bookcase around a fireplace for personality and warmth.
Sand the entire piece and paint as desired. Recessed panel doors on the base cabinets complete the design. All right, now that you have built the hearth box, it’s time to begin building the box frame which will sit on your hearth box and attach to your wall. Once assembled, total height of the fireplace feature wall will be 90″ inches (remember, the frame will sit on top of the hearth which we measured at 12″ high), minus any crown molding you choose to add to finish the top.
