Stone Fireplace Makeover | DIY Overgrouted Fireplace | Living Room Ep. 02

Finishing our living room makeover! We're finally tackling our stone fireplace makeover! We looked at all of the ideas for fireplace makeovers, including overgrouting, painting, german shmear, and limewashing. This is what we though would work best AND would give a beautiful modern look to the space.
Let us know what you think of our overgrouted fireplace!

That looks INCREDIBLE. Wow. I am shocked that is the same fireplace.

[@LindiandRuss]

❤❤❤ It’s hard to believe!! 😂

[@MuseKosh]

Wow, guys, don‘t even hesitate - it is so much better now! You did an amazing job. The fireplace looks so fresh and modern now. I couldn’t imagine that it is possible. You saved yourself tons of money and brought new life to an outdated fireplace. ❤

[@LindiandRuss]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@leah__gail]

Yep as soon as you started lightening the rock I was like “Noooooo 😫” 😂 My sis in law painted the grout on their giant rock fireplace, changed the whole room. Love the results of ya’lls in the end! Looks perfect! 👍🏻 Not too dark, not too light.

[@LindiandRuss]

😂😂 I’m glad you ended up liking it!! 🙌

[@kellyharris2455]

The fireplace turned out beautifully. I’m so glad you both persevered and didn’t ‘settle’!

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! ❤ The next try would’ve been painting it all, but I already knew I wouldn’t like that as much 😂

[@melissaandkids1234]

"It's a lie of love" lol you guys are great! I love watching you guys and thats no lie! Lol

[@LindiandRuss]

😂😂 Sometimes you have to lie during DIY 🤣

[@Kasey-jf2pn]

I actually LOVE the lightened stones.

[@LindiandRuss]

We are so happy how it turned out!

[@PaulaTennyson]

Wow! Looks amazing.!! Especially with the way you styled the room. I really love your taste.

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! 😘

[@yvonnebrown5161]

Love the DIY fireplace! I would add a darker or natural mantel to make it pop. Great job!!

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you! 😊

[@eileenalbanese5362]

Great job you two!!! Lots of work for sure, but looks 💯 better.

[@LindiandRuss]

Thanks 👍

[@hillarymclaughlin3347]

Yes…..a Lindi & Russ video!!! I love it. Fireplace looks great. I am so glad you showed the highs and lows of this process…..because that is what DIY is all about. Thank you for being such good mentors!!!!!

Thanks ☺️

[@user-un9dd5sv2y]

Looks great and it turned out beautifully

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you! 😊

[@kelbrl18]

My brother and sister in-law did the same project in their house. They eventually painted the stone in different shades of grey to match their room

[@LindiandRuss]

They didn’t like what they did the first time? I’m honestly shocked by how natural it looks! People IRL don’t even know it’s been redone!

[@debbydhill]

So much better!

[@LindiandRuss]

Made SUCH a huge difference!

[@luv2cre84]

Guys, the after is phenomenal!!!😍 Excellent work!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@LindiandRuss]

Thanks!! It was a bit of a struggle to get there 😅 but huge improvement!! ❤

[@bethsims665]

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! Such a massive improvement! ❤

[@marianknoblauch6721]

The house you left behind was a show house and this house will be the same, looking forward to all the room makeovers!

[@LindiandRuss]

For sure!! Most people only met us at the end of our journey on the last house, but it took 6 years! This house will be the same :)

[@docwhoshops]

Great job!

[@LindiandRuss]

Thanks!

[@monicahayden51]

It was sooo totally worth it!!!! It is just gorgeous!!! It is amazing how it completely changed the feel and look of the whole room along with how you styled it. It is so pretty!!! Tfs, you two are such a great team! I look forward to the next DIY!

[@LindiandRuss]

Aww, Thank you!

[@annabellegarde4612]

Love it!

[@LindiandRuss]

Such a huge difference! 🙌

[@TheArianedg]

Love it!! Good job🎉

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you! ❤

[@rhondacowley9818]

Looks great

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you! ❤

[@beverlynorris557]

That looks so much better! Lots of work but worth it.

[@LindiandRuss]

Totally! Lots of sweat equity, but worth it!

[@sandiwalker761]

Lots of hard work but all worth it. I hated the black(dark) grout. The stone is the star now. Good job.

[@LindiandRuss]

I sooooo agree with you!! I always called it the girafe print stone 😂 Now it blends in so nicely!

[@terrirouleau4758]

I like it. The colour really works with panelling.

[@LindiandRuss]

I agree!! I’m so glad we softened it after - made a big difference twitch this colour palette!

[@irmayorke9075]

A huge improvement. It was all worth it. You may end up keeping it that way. I would get a wood mantel, though, just to break up the stone.

[@LindiandRuss]

Russ is hopeful that we do keep it! I honestly love it so much more, but the massive hearth is a big reason I won’t think it’ll stay forever. We just lose so much living room space because of it

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

08:20 this was so funny ;-)

[@LindiandRuss]

☺️

[@tielwelch8132]

Happy about the final outcome! :)

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@MissQuite]

What an upgrade! Love what you’ve done x

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you, it looks like a totally different space now!

[@mariamcphail]

Wow! That's a fantastic transformation.

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you! ❤

[@cathereneackroyd7957]

The fire place looks fantastic love what you did to it great job

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! ❤

[@sandrahultsten3048]

Love love the fireplace 🥰

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! ❤ We were super happy with how it turned out!

[@leslie9622]

Amazing!

[@LindiandRuss]

Thanks!! 😊

[@ocdthyme6709]

wow this looks sooo damn good!

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! 🥰🥰

[@pr0starorg]

Now that you did it. Do you think the acetone is a necessary step? Or what would have you done differently?

[@LindiandRuss]

I think you could do it without the acetone if you’re very light with the sealer, but it dries darker and it’s so hard to know how far you’ve gone, so I think there could always be a need to remove some potentially.

[@lynntorson1984]

Wow, I seem to be the bear to these comments. Not one of your better designs. So use to your modern design and then this. I think I would have spent the money and do cement board but maybe you are going to go a whole new direction with this west coast reno.

[@LindiandRuss]

Hahaha. Trust me, this isn’t our dream fireplace or our forever fireplace, but it’s a HUGE, affordable improvement from what we had! Trying to cement board and resurface this fireplace while keeping the flooring and wall panels would’ve been a huge mistake - the aesthetics will not match. Once we can afford to move walls, add beams, and change walls and floors, an expensive fireplace will go in ❤ Until then, I’m quite happy with this huge improvement! Home takes time! ❤
