      Hahahahahhahah. Best comment ever. I so feel you. Note: I saw a girl who geniusly took the top off of a vanity mirror. It was large and pretty and ornately carved. And she removed the mirror and mounted it to the wall as a faux fireplace/mantle. It was even more genius with less work. So…just an idea. I also think you could thrift an old cabinet and then do this same foam thing. Just an idea 🙂

    Hi, Katy! How has it been with the fireplace and the kitty? I have two cats and I feel they are way too destructive and since it is made with foam I am terrified to build it 😂 but I sooooo want to try it

    • @LaughCryDIY
      @LaughCryDIY  Год назад

      Great question! So far it’s been totally fine. Baguette has leaned on it and tried to hop “behind” it, but I walled it up a little higher so she can’t even get through it if she tried. She hasn’t clawed it or anything, but she digs hanging on her little pouf in front of the glowing candles. The 2-inch insulation foam is pretty thick/sturdy. Baguette only weighs about 7 pounds, so I don’t know how it would hold up to a bigger cat’s aggressive abuse (haha), but I have had no problems with it at all. (She also only prefers to claw her scratching post.) The way I did it was a fairly cheap diy (under $120, I believe), so I would encourage you to try it! Alternatively, if you’re not trying to build it into a specific cubby/space (like I was), I would totally try to source a narrow faux mantle second hand or find the top of a vanity and remove the mirror. I would have done that if I had a simple empty wall space! That’s a genius hack. Here’s an example: www.hometalk.com/diy/living-room/fireplaces-mantels/upcycled-old-dresser-mirror-to-faux-mantle-44281938

      The joint compound helps. Oh, I also used a flatter paint, which I think helped too. Oh, I can say a plumber came by the next week and was confounded as to how we were the only unit with a fireplace. And how it was sealed in there. He was shocked when I explained and he saw up close. So…it passed the plumber test. 🙌

    Hi! Just wondering how the fireplace is holding up? And issues or things you would try differently now that youve had it up a while? I want to create one for my room but its be free-standing.

    • @LaughCryDIY
      @LaughCryDIY  Год назад

      Hi! It’s been fantastic. Still my favorite DIY to date, and I “use” it all the time. With the exception of one small strip of brick that started to unstick (which I just glued back on), it’s been great. If you were to create a “freestanding” version, I would say two things.
      1) Be wary of the adhesive you use. I learned after the fact that hot glue isn’t the best for foam (it actually can burn tiny holes and weaken the bond). And spray adhesive will melt the foam! Mine hasn’t had any issue with that, but since I built it into a little alcove, maybe that has helped it maintain its integrity. Here’s some info about better glue alternatives…
      www.thistothat.com/cgi-bin/glue.cgi?lang=en&this=Styrofoam&that=Styrofoam
      2) If I were to do a “freestanding” version, I would actually thrift a small cabinet and remove the doors, then build it around that (might not even need the foam-just brick). Here’s a similar hack (although instead of wood, I would use foam to build it out)…

      Just make sure to use always battery-operated candles, ya know 🙃. Hope this helps, and if you do it, please email me afters! Would love to see it.
