After painting the outside of my stucco house, I wanted our fire place to match. I just used the same outside paint on my stucco fire place. I also had some of the stain left over from painting my garage door so I painted it on the bricks around my fire place. They were so dirty and dingy. I have never liked the color of them. The stain went on easy with a rag. I was so amazed the the ending result! I love it!

This is how my fire place looked before I started. The stucco was rust, the bricks were a tan and the grout was black.

After I painted the stucco white, I stained the brick with the same stain that I had used to paint my garage door. I love the deep rich color of the bricks and the grout looks black and it shines!
