    Yes they can. Pintrest has tons of fireplace make overs. Also there is a kit you can buy but I think that is an unnecessary expense.

      Thanks, Dee. I'll look to see what's in the kit, and decide from there. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

    Hello Pat you certainly can! Look for Masonry paint at the local hardware store. It can be brushed or rolled on. I used a small roller for the main portion then the brush, dabbing in the nooks and crannies. Good luck! Post the before and after pictures for us.

      Thanks, Beverly! I had no idea there are so many kinds of paints! Your answer helps me a lot! I will post pictures! We're doing a whole living room makeover - we want a beach theme. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

    I just thinned out some white paint. Probably half and half. Used a paint brush. Several coats. I love it!
