Hi Jmo,
We updated ours by white-washing the brick and painting the mantle white. Click here for another idea. Wishing you the best.
A real stone veneer would make a timeless change. Brick is an excellent base to start from and putting a stone layer on it is a great project. There are so many beautiful choices to choose from you may have a hard time making up your mind. Here’s what hgtv has on it. https://www.hgtv.com/design/decorating/design-101/how-to-cover-a-brick-fireplace-with-stone
Wow! A lot to absorb! Thanks
You could put a stacked stone, regular stone or a stone tile. Here are some examples that I've done, stone on a porch or on fireplaces. And my daughter did an outdoor kitchen with stacked stone.
Beautiful!

I would paint it, brick is timeless
Thanks for all the great suggestions! I think we might try the whitewashing. Seems the most cost effective. I’ll be sure post when it’s done!
I currently have stinky dirty carpeting in my living room and I want to replace it with a durable flooring that can stand up to dogs and kids.
Does having a paint over a popcorn ceiling change how I'd remove the popcorn ceiling?
I want to spruce up my walls with peel-and-stick wallpaper. Has anyone used this before and can advise me as to how to apply it properly?
I've heard staining is a good technique for updating floors. So how do I stain my wood floor?
I had started a white wash a year ago but sanded off most of it when my family hated it.
