Leigh Anne @ Houseologie on May 06, 2014Show us a picture! You could always use wood to beef up the mantle and then paint it semigloss white or whitewash the red brick if you don't like it.Helpful Reply

Thej on May 06, 2014I had awful purplish/red brick. I took regular premixed plaster out of the box and plastered over the brick several times until the lines don't show. I sanded several times, primed and painted mine an off white. Under $20 and I love the look. My mantle looked much better afterwards and I left mine as is.Helpful Reply

Lavende on May 06, 2014If you don't like the red brick, you could paint it or put a thin stone veneer over the top. There are some really beautiful options out there that are easy to apply and completely transform the appearance (and decade) of the fireplace.Helpful Reply
