MY MOTHER HAS AN OLD RED BRICK FIREPLACE. I WOULD LIKE TO UP DATE THE COLOR SO THE ROOM DOESN'T LOOK SO DARK. I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE THE TEXTURE OF THE BRICK THOUGH. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

white wash it
Your capitals button is stuck I think.
You can do a process of white washing. Mixing paint with water, apply with a sponge, let dry, add 2-4 more coats depending on the amount of coverage you want.
Painting will ruin it. Will hurt the resale value of the home. Vacuum and Scrub it with TSP. Decorate it with lighter colored accents.
Brick can be painted using any paint color you choose.
Lowes has a paint product that contains Lime that is specifically for covering brick. The result is wonderful
