@builtbybec: I made one design decision… and the internet lost its mind. Apparently, replacing a fireplace with IKEA cabinets is offensive now? 😅 But here’s the truth: we never used the fireplace. It took up space, added zero storage, and just didn’t fit our needs anymore. So I did what any completely sane person would do… I ripped the whole thing out. This is part one of the makeover and yes, it only gets more unhinged from here. Would you have kept the fireplace or torn it down too?
if you want to hide the wood grain, why not use MDF?

I’m following you not because you created a masterpiece, but because you messed up and were honest about it. As an even worse DIYer, I can learn from your mistakes. Thanks for sharing your experience!

If the fireplace doesn’t work for you, then absolutely gut it. I do like the original cabinets but again, if you need storage, time to go. oh, and I used bondo on furniture like the flipping pros tell us & after 6 months the white paint is flaking off. I’m ignoring it as it’s in our guest room but my rage burbles under my cool breezy smile 😉

The quality of the ikea cabinets aren’t that bad, we had them for at least 20 years in our house

Why didn’t you use your favorite, GoodFilla?! Do you need more? It smells delicious and is nontoxic and water-based!
