When we moved into our Texas home in 2016, we were awed by the large
double-sided fireplace that connected our living room and sunroom. What I
wasn't awed by however, was how dark, dirty and dingy the brick looked on
the living room side.
I knew it would be beautiful and brighten the overall feel of the room if I
painted the fireplace white. But the family said no.
But it looked SO bad, and one day while trying to clean it, I decided to just
see what it would look like with a little white paint on it. So armed with a
solo cup and a little
white chalk paint, I set out to experiment on my brick fireplace. I came up with a method that
I think is foolproof for anyone looking to update and modernize their brick or
stone fireplace!
The rest, as they say, is history! It turned out amazing, everyone loved it
and it became a showstopper in our home! So many of you have followed my tips
and shared your beautiful painted fireplaces with me.
If you're someone who is longing for an updated stone or brick fireplace but
is afraid to do it, I hope you'll visit my step by step tutorial at
Using Chalk Paint to Update a Brick Fireplace. You can read my tips and tricks for getting the best results, plus you can

not-so-secret tips and ended up with fireplaces that they love!
