Introduction
Stepping out of a warm tub or shower into a cold space is not one of life's joys. The usual remedy — other than tolerating the chill — would be installing a heat lamp. But their red glow and noisy timers can make you feel like a newborn chick, or maybe a hot dog at a gas station waiting for a hungry customer.
I wanted a different vibe for our complete bathroom remodel — no surprise, right? With this electric fireplace, I can change the color of the flames and embers and I control the heat output, all using WiFi.

Easy Installation, Anywhere
To ease this installation, I built out an existing wall. Doing this makes it possible to put an electric fireplace anywhere in your home without worrying about compromising a load-bearing wall or the insulation on an exterior wall. It simplifies pulling wires too, but you’ll still have to apply drywall, tape and mud.
We installed the Sideline 60 Elite Fireplace from Lowe’s.
