Distressed Painted Brick Fireplace image and description

First, think what material your bricks are made of as for instance, some types of materials like limestone or stone from the river are not so easy to paint. Get high – quality paint for your fire spot and select the best and most pleasant colour for your interior. For example, if you prefer a classical style, a white painted brick fireplace may be an ideal choice for you. So the next step will be cleaning your bricks with the help of a wiring brush. You have to remove all the dirty pieces and all the dust from the surface of your fireplace bricks. Then apply a special substance on the blocks or use a home made mixture made of water and vinegar. Don’t forget to use working gloves to protect your hands and skin. Use the primer to prevent stains on your spot and if you colour a fire spot inside, make sure that you use a heat resisting sort of the dye. By the way, you have to pay attention to every hole or corner in your fire spot as unpainted spots will look unattractively after finishing your redesign.
