What kind of tools do you have? What kind of skill sets do you have?
Stone tile veneer is very popular right now, glass mosaics as accents are also very popular.
Please remember that you can’t have any combustible materials, like wood lap siding, within 18 inches of the firebox.
I agree with Cheryl a picture would help. But lime wash and paint look great if it is a brick fireplace.

You need to dust/clean the bricks (I used a vacuum), prime, and paint. Use a nappy roller and a brush for tricky spots and corners. It may take a few coats of paint depending on how much of the red shows through. But it will look great when you're finished. Here's a before & after of mine.
