Looks nice but that's a really dumb place to put your TV. But you probably have no other choices in that room.

That place is fine for the TV. It's not a big enough fireplace to get that hot, and the chimney is enclosed behind the wall so the TV is not going to be up against the brick anyway.

Besides, it was converted to gas ... if it should happen to get hot, just turn the gas down.

Is this why Bapu's FSF is so hot?

Oh man, it's like a Turkish Bath in there.

 Thanks for your comments! Craig I had a concern about the heat as well. In use there is no problem which surprised me. Like Bub said the gas heat is not that extreme and although the pics don't show it well there is a thick mantel that sticks out far enough to deflect the heat. I used the fireplace even before installing the mantle with the TV and still no problems.

 The thing I really like is sitting in front of it in a recliner has me looking directly at the TV.

Wow!
Very nice indeed.
I'm not a fan of brick at all. For walkways they're ok but as house siding or fireplaces....BLEACHH!

Excellent job, that looks so much more home-ier.

PS. Nice work on hiding the TV wiring too.

Great job Star!

Thanks for sharing it.

The heat concern? Well if I was worried by the TV I'd sure
be more concerned about setting the walls on fire lol.

Personally I like my TV at eye-level while I'm sitting to watch it- so it works for
your family higher...perfect.
