Can you whitewash a painted brick fireplace?

We are buying a home with a grey painted fireplace. I would like to whitewash it so that it is mostly white but with a hint of brick showing...barely. I was thinking of just painting it white but not sure if it will turnout. Any ideas appreciated.
The walls are a medium taupe.

Donna, how did it turn out??? I know it's a year later. Just curious as I'm about to do the same thing to a darker grey brick fireplace!
Depends on what sort of paint was used uin the first place. You could rough it up with sandpaper if shiney and then try white washing it.
