You won't believe how easy & inexpensive it is to do a fireplace makeover! All you need is some normal paint, a brush and a wadded up paper bag. You can use craft paint too which means you have a multitude of color choices! THE COMPLETE DETAILS ON THIS PROCESS ARE ON OUR SITE HERE
BASIC SUPPLIES
Paint your brick with the color that will be your grout color. Make sure to get into all the crevices due to how porous brick is. Make sure the grout is covered well between the bricks.
You will now use the paint that will be the main brick color. Wad up a piece of a paper bag tightly and dab it into the paint. Starting at once side of the brick start dabbing the paint onto the brick. ***FULL DETAILS AND PHOTOS ARE ON OUR SITE LINK AT THE BOTTOM***
In order to make it look a bit more realistic either blot more of the same color on parts of some bricks. This gives it character and a more natural look.
