Le Vintage Soul Fixes a Fireplace for Santa's Arrival

The Fireplace on the left was very plain and boring so Le Vintage Soul decided to spruce it up a little.
Just added a small 4 ounce of jar of White Wash Glaze....it totally changes the look and for basically under $13 the Fireplace is ready for Santa! What you need is a chip brush and use it dry and dry brush over all the bricks. Do not worry about being exact. Just go over quickly for that uneven look. Le Vintage Soul used Dixie Belle glaze for this look.
Enjoyed the project?

Hi Dawn! The technique used is called dry brushing. You do not wet the brush before using. Simply dip the brush in the glaze, and lightly spread across the surface! That will create the white wash look shown. Happy painting!

Have a question about this project?
Where do I buy the dixie belle glaze?
I want to white wash paint the fire place but my husband said no, the house is his family's heirloom. Is there a glaze I can wipe off if he doesn't like it after done?
