How do I paint my fireplace mantel?

What is it now?

It would definitely depend on what kind of material it currently is. I painted my fireplace using chalk paint and that worked well for the look I was trying to achieve.

Sand, prime and paint - depending on the type of paint, you may want to top coat for extra durability.
