Faux Fireplace & Manel with Herringbone Firebox

I used the plans as a jumping off point and made adjustment accordingly.  I didn't want the wall to show through, so I made a firebox from wooden door shims laid out in a herringbone pattern.  Some of the shims were left natural, while randon ones were whitewashed.  The entire fireplace was painted using Behr paint in Polar Bear White.
