Transforming a Fireplace: Heat & Glo's Collaboration with Simply Aligned

At Heat & Glo, we know that a fireplace is more than just a source of warmth—it’s the centerpiece of a home. When Nicole, the engineer-turned-DIY renovator behind Simply Aligned Home, decided to give her outdated brick fireplace a modern facelift, we saw the perfect opportunity to collaborate and elevate both the look and functionality of her project.

The Beginning of the Makeover Journey

Nicole kicked off her renovation with a full visual transformation, which she shared in her blog post, "Easy DIY Brick Fireplace Makeover". In her signature style—combining creativity with meticulous planning—Nicole outlined how she tackled the task of brightening her space with fresh white paint, completely revitalizing the once-dated brickwork.

Nicole’s careful planning and attention to detail resulted in a sleek, modern fireplace that instantly updated her room. However, while the new look was a major improvement, she still sought to enhance the functionality of the fireplace, creating a space that wasn’t just aesthetically pleasing but also provided warmth and comfort for her family.

Partnering with Heat & Glo

That’s where Heat & Glo came in. Recognizing that a fireplace should offer more than just beauty, we partnered with Nicole to help her integrate one of our high-performance gas fireplace inserts, the Escape, into her design. With Heat & Glo’s reputation for combining style with functionality, we provided Nicole with a solution that not only fit her modern aesthetic but also delivered reliable and efficient heat.

Our gas insert brought a whole new dimension to Nicole's project—one that aligned perfectly with her practical and design-driven approach. The clean lines and efficient heating capabilities of the insert elevated her newly redesigned fireplace, transforming it from a mere visual update to a fully functional and welcoming focal point of her home.

Thanks to the partnership with Heat & Glo, Nicole’s fireplace is now the complete package, offering both style and function in one sleek design. By integrating one of our industry-leading gas fireplace inserts, the Escape, into her DIY makeover, Nicole was able to achieve a stunning final look that not only enhances the atmosphere of her home but also provides the warmth and comfort her family can enjoy all year round.
