Fireplace Facelift

by Willie Wainwright

Is the brick on your fireplace outdated and in need of a makeover? Willie Wainwright, a painter from Peachland, British Columbia, shows you how to go from drab-to-fab using BeautiTone paint.

What You'll Need

• natural sea sponge
• BeautiTone Designer Series eggshell paint

Here's How:

1. Before you begin to paint, thoroughly vacuum the fireplace to make sure it is nice and clean.	2. Apply one solid colour of Beauti Tone Designer Series eggshell paint for the first coat.	3. Put the second paint colour on a sea sponge, and dab it and drag it onto the bricks. Skipping over a brick here and there creates a realistic, rustic look, and is more effective than applying the sponge effect to every single brick.
