In this video, I'm sharing how I built this MODERN DIY Electric Fireplace Wall with removeable cubbies to access inside.

Our new house had zero character when we moved in a few month ago and I'm on a mission to add some unique and useful additions to every room as I can.

Today's project features one of these "additions" I added to our living room. This recessed fireplace wall anchors the space and the removeable cubbies allow access to behind the wall if we need to adjust cables, plug or unplug or go back later and add another outlet.
