What is an easy way to paint a red brick fireplace white?

Hi Elaine. Here are some great posts on how to paint fireplace bricks. Hope this helps... https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=how%20to%20paint%20fireplace%20bricks

You need to clean off brick first. Use a scrub brush and TSP.

It won't be a quick project. You want to take your time and do a good job. This is a permanent change.

Hi Elaine,

One of my favorite bloggers, Jennifer of Dimples & Tangles, did an awesome tutorial for painting red brick. She has painted two fire places in her home. Here is one of the projects. Hope this helps!

I would recommend Annie Sloan Chalk paint in Old White! I've seen several fireplaces painted in this color. You can also take a damp sponge to wipe off any excess white to give the fireplace a white washed look. :)
