The vacations are virtually right here and chestnuts can now roast on an open fireplace since I completed this white hearth transformation venture. I spent a lot time dancing forwards and backwards with the concept that we skipped the brick after we painted all the lounge white. My followers on Instagram and Twitter and virtually everybody was able to see the normal brick shade for away.
I really like the look of conventional brick, but it surely simply wasn’t flowing properly on this house. We’re going for a clear, cozy, and stylish aesthetic for the house, and the brick because it was didn’t match that. Portray your hearth white or any shade isn’t too difficult and time consuming, but it surely positively helps to have a plan (or this weblog submit). It took me one weekend to get this completed.

Steps to a White Fireplace
Prep flooring for cover.
The very first thing you must do is tape off the encompassing flooring on the base of the fireplace place. There are merchandise on the market that may safely take away paint from flooring, however defending beforehand decreases clear up time. A reusable drop material can also be an awesome choice as properly.
Clear brick completely.
Taking some diluted soapy water and a scrub brush I scrubbed the fireside from prime to backside at the least twice. It’s essential to get every bit of mud or cobweb cleaned off to reduce the possibilities of peeling and different imperfections after the paint has dried.
Let it dry completely!
I unfold this venture out for at the least two days to permit the brick to dry after cleansing it. I let our hearth dry for a full day earlier than portray it.
Get to portray.
Subsequent I painted two coats on what must be my most favourite shade of white for indoor areas. Not too heat, not too cool, simply white! Ha! Lastly I sat again, sipped some wine espresso, and admired the brand new hearth from the lounge.
Because of everybody that voted YES to color it as a result of I’m in love! I’m so pleased with the way it turned out, and might’t wait to place up the tree and all of the reasonably priced Christmas decor I’ve begun stashing away.
