This post is about 8 months overdue! Once we had our den walls painted, I knew our fireplace had to be painted as well. It was a dark red brick with matching grout, and it would stick out like a sore thumb in this pretty new room. I love the look of brick though, so I used a technique that would keep that authentic look. Here are the details!
First, I painted the entire fireplace with primer. I just used what we had on hand, which was Zinsser 123 Plus.
While I was painting, this was my view. Homeownership can be exhausting! :)
Then I painted the base color, or the grout color. I bought 4 colors for this project- a grout color (light tan), and 3 shades of brown for a good variation. For all of these, I used samples from Sherwin Williams. For the bricks, I simply cut a sponge to the exact size of a brick and varied the placement of the different shades. I also layered the colors on top of each other (I would sponge on the dark brown, then sponge a lighter shade on top, and vice versa.) The trick is to create a variety of shades to look like real brick.
So I wouldn't have too much paint on the sponge, I used a brush to lightly apply paint. Don't push down too hard on the sponge, so you get that nice speckled look!

This project took less than a day and was very inexpensive- just a couple of sponges and 4 paint samples!

I'm seriously in shock because I thought that was real brick. I can't believe you recreated the exact look of bricks. Also, I love your little sleepy family.

To ensure your paint follows and dries appropriately, you'll have to altogether clean the block. Utilize a wire scour brush to evacuate any soil or residue, at that point apply nonsudsy trisodium phosphate (likewise called TSP; wear gloves and security goggles), and was complete with a substantially cleaner. Flush and let dry. Cover your floor with a drop fabric and tape off any regions you need to remain without paint.lime mortar pointing
