if you want i can send you a pic,but the simplest is to attatch all the trim to a piece of quarter inch plywood from behind and install it as one unit,it’s not all that hard but first go online and find an thought you like

I am not sure if this is helpful for you but I always wanted a fireplace and I thought that if I ever got one I want to use a bumper from a 1950’s car as the mantel. I just reckon that would look too cool. But hey, I am ancient…what do I know?
