How to Make a Modern Farmhouse Fireplace Mantel

Hey all! This is the culmination of building our fireplace in our home! Finally, the mantel! We wanted something that wasn't super modern, but also wasn't super rustic and "farmhousy." So, call it Modern Farmhouse?

I wouldn't necessarily call this a step by step how to build video with in depth plans (heck, I didn't even really have plans when we built it, more of a quick sketch), but hopefully you're able to pull some good ideas from it that make you want to go out and build something yourself.
