Fireplace painted in chalk paint
Comments (18)HU-827977078 I used products by Plastikote. As my fireplace was quite dark, after lightly sanding to prep so the paint would key, I first used a cream shade in Satin Super Spray. This provided a good even lighter base, to then use the Stone Touch spray paint over it so the coverage was solid. For the lacquer, I used Stone Touch clear sealer spray, which you can get in gloss, satin or matt. It doesn’t turn yellow and can even be used outdoors. It states on the Plastikote web site that Stone Touch spray paints are heat resistant which is ideal for a fire surround. The surface is tough and durable. I’ve seen in reviews on Amazon where people have even used it on stair steps and walk on it without problems. It gives a nice finish and people don’t realise it’s not actually stone, unless you look very closely. I painted mine a few years ago and it’s still fine....See Moreshould I paint the fire surround white?

Comments (32)The dining area and the other area could be from two different houses. There’s definitely nothing modern about the dining area. Build in storage (cupboard on the bottom, shelves to the height of the picture rail) on each side of the fireplace. Change the chairs to a much simpler style. The cottage/country table cloth should be changed out for something less busy. If building storage isn’t possible, reduce what’s on the shelves and clear off the mantel....See MoreFireplace replace surround or paint existing with new burner
Comments (1)The question is: Heat?? When recessed, will the surround paint hold up? Will the wood even be safe? (Perhaps you can sell the current one and build a tiled surround? What's your home's style? And yours?)...See More- 7 years ago
