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!! 😂

[@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!

[@debbydhill]

So much better!

[@LindiandRuss]

Made SUCH a huge difference!

[@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!

[@beverlynorris557]

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

[@LindiandRuss]

Totally! Lots of sweat equity, but worth it!

[@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 😂

[@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!

[@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 🤣

[@cathereneackroyd7957]

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

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! ❤

[@mariamcphail]

Wow! That's a fantastic transformation.

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you! ❤

[@PaulaTennyson]

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

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! 😘

[@MissQuite]

What an upgrade! Love what you’ve done x

[@LindiandRuss]

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

[@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 👍

[@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

[@user-un9dd5sv2y]

Looks great and it turned out beautifully

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you! 😊

[@angieneufeldt6774]

It looks great! Love watching your videos!

[@LindiandRuss]

[@annabellegarde4612]

[@LindiandRuss]

Such a huge difference! 🙌

[@moniquegamache2663]

It seriously looks amazing!

[@LindiandRuss]

We are so happy with how the space turned out! Thanks for watching☺️

[@KarMa-ws3ll]

i really like the outcome - it changes the room dramatically !

[@LindiandRuss]

Completely changed the feel of the room! 🙌

[@thediymommy]

It looks absolutely incredible!! Great job. 🎉

[@LindiandRuss]

Thanks Christina!! Such a huge difference from what was there before!

[@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!

[@tonyamartinez6488]

I think the fireplace looks amazing.

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you!! ❤

[@gurkov4e]

[@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 :)

[@rhondacowley9818]

Looks great

[@LindiandRuss]

Thank you! ❤

[@tielwelch8132]

[@LindiandRuss]

☺️

[@sandrahultsten3048]

Love love the fireplace 🥰

[@LindiandRuss]

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

[@leslie9622]

Amazing!

[@LindiandRuss]

Thanks!! 😊

[@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! ❤
