I built a fireplace with a hidden TV lift, real tile, real brick, and craftsman style wood trim

As part of remodeling my house, I always wanted a fireplace. But my house never had one. No problem, I built a fake one with an electric insert. I also hid my TV down in the back using an hydrolic TV lift! The whole thing is made from stained wood, real tile, and there is even real brick in the fake fire box on the inside. I think this turned out AMAZING.

The design of the woodwork was meant to match the trim that I also did myself, and I have videos on that, that might also give you ideas.

This was mostly very old, and very low quality footage. I used Adobe Podcast to clean up the audio with AI, and Topaz Labs AI to upscale the footage to 4k. These aren't sponsored endorsements, but I thought I should be transparent. If the video or audio is garbled, unsynced, or I sound like a muppet, the AI isn't perfect and that is why. Also, this is the first bad video I ran through Topaz AI and it didn't do a great job of fixing the video... that's how bad it was. I still wanted to share this despite the low quality footage.
