Adding Built Ins Around Our Fireplace

by My Sweet Lilac

May 21, 2018

After retiling our fireplace and installing a floating mantle, we added built in bookcases for functional storage and display. All in, this project took about 70 hours to complete. We figure we saved around S5,000 doing this ourselves (total project cost was S1,500). Read the full details here: https://mysweetlilac.com/adding-built-ins-fireplace/
