DIY Painted Brick Fireplace Makeover

[@MichelleH1791]

Love the depth and warmth these colors brought. The mantle looks happy with the warmer tones too.

[@belindaanderson4078]

Oh my! Looks so much better. Blends with the color of the mantle. Beautiful.

[@Thankfulbeyondmeasur]

Love the fire place what a beautiful job you did. But more than the fire place is the mantel gorgeous wood

[@beeler178]

You are such a talented artist. I love all that you do,,,

[@barbaradzirnis9360]

So glad you changed and went to deeper warm colors...as soon as you did it changed the look to old world charm. It's just really BEAUTIFUL! Plus your mantle looks so rich now on the new brick color. Great job!

[@francaevans4326]

Fabulous!!! You’re so patient. I painted my moms couch it took three days I’m exhausted and proud, it looks really good 😀

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you! Omgoodness! I just sold 2 Vintage tufted sofas that I was going to paint. We needed them out of the garage. I have only painted small upholstery pieces and it still took forever! I am sure your Mom is thrilled with it. What color and products did you use? Xoxoxo

[@jacih1034]

The colours of the bricks are very warming and looks great with your mantel and decorations. Thank you for sharing Deborah.

[@melanieevansmartin5232]

I love it. It does look more French country.

[@wynomaburkholder3684]

It looks fabulous! So much better than the white in my opinion. I’m over the “everything white” farmhouse look! Great transformation ❤️❤️❤️

[@ginnyosborne3304]

It’s beautiful!

[@MariaFlores-ql1rg]

LOVE IT has a more "stone fee," warmer, cozy, SUPER JOB like always.

[@terrypierce1661]

Looks beautiful. Like it this way better

[@patriciareeps3389]

This looks so much better then the white

[@vivianparker-salsbery1326]

I love the new look much better. Great job.

[@gegeschannel8836]

It looks so much better

[@juliemonroe105]

Love the old European look you ended up with,stunning for French country

[@thepaintedsouth]

Hey Julie!!! Thank you! I like it SO much better! I loved the white, but it stuck out like a sore thumb in this house. ❤French Country! Have a wonderful week! Xoxoxo

[@sharonfields5493]

It's absolutely stunning! I love it.

[@elainethomas2602]

I like the whitewash but I like this more. It's looks more natural. Thank you .Have a great day.

[@pw3985]

I love the update it looks warmer and less farmhouse. You are so talented!

[@stacihartman48]

Absolutely stunning!!! What a transformation!

[@cynthiagreen6927]

Deborah you are so brave to try the many different colors. It turned out beautiful. It looks so rich.

[@sandyduncan914]

WOW JUST BEAUTIFUL !💕🍁🍁🍁💞

[@debbybuchman8091]

It looks so expensive and classy like this. Love it 💕

[@alices.1824]

This is so much better than the previous color. Farmhouse is overdone. The mantle coordinates well with the warmer brick. Love the fall decor.

[@lydianance5342]

Wow... I'm so impressed!!! You're right. The earthier tones make a cohesive look with the wood mantle. I love it!

[@cme9758]

Never realized there could be so many different looks when painting brick. Thanks for the idea and the details when updating a fireplace or a kitchen backsplash.

[@brendanewton3531]

Love the finished product!! The mantel blends so much better and the firebox fads away. The white look was totally better than the original dated red brick. But this is perfect.

[@anitabrennler7847]

This is beautiful! Love to watch you mix, negotiate and apply. It takes a careful eye to not make it look garrish. Thank you for the tutorial😄

[@1browndesk]

Looks beautiful

[@judyshort38]

That definitely gave the fireplace more character. Good job!

[@novamccoy7992]

It amazes me how you take all these different colors and blend them together and come out with beauty and I do it and it comes out looking like mud. This looks gorgeous!🤍

[@gregrichards3071]

She’s amazing

[@Melody-285]

Nova McCoy That has sometimes happened to me & I think the problem is blending too much, rather than layering - also has happened if I don’t let the colors dry before putting on another one - I’ve had to go back & sort of tap or pat the colors in again - so don’t feel all alone 😊

[@lynnb7511]

Love this color, I prefer warm colors. I never got on the farmhouse wagon, but a lot of ladies really made their homes beautiful. Love love this look!

[@doloresramirez3289]

It looks beautiful...great job. The mantle shines now...love it.🙏❤

[@MindysPlace]

The fireplace turned out great. I love it.

[@cvonsutphen]

TENACIOUS, that is a word I would use to describe you. I am so grateful for your inspirational videos. "LAYER, LAYER, LAYER", is the Mantra via The Painted South that always comes through in my projects. Thank you so much!

[@kathyphifer7546]

What’s a transformation! Beautiful!!

[@deborahcrutchfield5022]

Prefect warm and cozy. Feeling

[@georgiapines7906]

Lovely job, Deborah, you brave soul!😊 I like this much better with your mantle, floor and walls. It's cohesive now; all pulled together. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration. One more thing! I, like several others on here, love your lipstick. Will you please tell us about it? Thank you in advance. I'm looking forward to your next video!

[@nancyhughes3204]

Looks just lovely.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Like the look and how you are not afraid to try something.

[@whimsicallywhimsywhimsical363]

You’ve got an amazing eye for blending the perfect colors when you paint. Your fireplace looks fabulous. I absolutely love to watch you when you paint because the outcome is always gorgeous. Thank you 💐

[@Angie-ci1lp]

Your hair is fine, your makeup is excellent 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@heatherelizabeth3264]

Much better!!! I would add more hazelnut to warm it up even more!!!

[@lollyvalles4864]

Loved the way it turned out. I want to paint my white brick fireplace and now I know how. Thanks for sharing.

[@tnhoney910]

Beautiful! Great job!

[@juliekey1750]

I think it would look even better if you painted the fire box an updated color.

[@barbara-dj1uo]

I think the painted brick color looks great as it compliments your fall decor on the mantle. I painted our red brick fireplace wall white trying to give it an old, whitewashed look. It looked PINK! I lightly applied more white to tone down the pink but it kept getting pinker, soooooo...I painted 3 heavy white coats so it’s all solid white. I really liked how it turned out. Not my original plan, but I love it. I, literally, laughed out loud at your new spider friends. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@kmarch6630]

Girl, the some thing happened to me!

[@fauxfinishmama]

I love the farmhouse look. However, this color goes with the style of your home. What a beautiful paint job! You have so much talent and creativity! I'm a true believer in the power of paint.

[@bobbietheeveningstitcher6841]

OMG! This is gorgeous!! I have been contemplating painting my outdated red brick fireplace forever! I really didn't want white or a white wash, because it reallly wouldn't match the rest of my decor, but this would be perfect!! Now...I just have to kick my husband out of the house for a few hours so I can paint!! Thank you so much!

[@thepaintedsouth]

Hey Bobbie! I'm glad you like it! It really changes the entire look of the room almost instantly! Please send me a before and after photo on my IG account! Good luck and have fun! Xoxoxo instagram.com/thepaintedsouth?igshid=1hqe0gnu4j7ej

[@GODSPEAKS898]

You look gorgeous Sis and I love your makeup. And you did a beautiful job on your fireplace. 🤗☺️

[@kmarch6630]

The whitewash works for my decor but I really like the finished result of yours too. I'm glad you went more in the direction of warm browns. I wasn't crazy about the Ellen DeGeneres look for your style and decor.

[@tammymikolajczyk6458]

That looks wonderful, much warmer. Beautiful job.

[@estellamayhue-greer5120]

The glaze made such a difference. It is a beautiful change to the fireplace.

[@sheilamashburn1795]

This is the one I love! TFS

[@evonne52]

Wow! I love it! I’m more traditional and this is so warm and inviting. Give you some paint and you work miracles!

[@debra7241]

That turned out beautiful!!

[@olgaolga4774]

Eres maravillosa. Te sigo desde hace tiempo y me encanta todo lo que haces

[@leslikuyweski4576]

I love that you aren't afraid to play with color! Paint is the least expensive way to achieve a new look. I have a brick wall in my kitchen that I'd love to change but I'm not sure what I want to do. Right now.it's the "used" brick. . I have a French Country look that I don't want to change. I used to work for a French Country showroom and I never tire of it. Thanks for some inspiration!

[@carolynlanphear7051]

Deborah, your new fireplace is just gorgeous! The transformation is much more warmer and blends better with the mantle. Not a fan of farmhouse and will be happy to see it faze out. It’s too cold and sterile for me. While you are correct that paint can make such a big difference, having your talented hand to guide it makes the finished product that much more beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@kathryntrapman3917]

Love the change, much more suited with your wood coloring on mantel and floors. I agree the farmhouse has become something your seeing a lot of , I have a feeling people are getting tired of the look. Love the shading technique that you use for depth. Great job. Thanks for sharing🍁🍂

[@florencechase3112]

Love the updated look much much better👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@jackieburnett6881]

It looks beautiful. That warm color makes it look less country and more vintage. I love it

[@sandraelaine401]

Definitely like the deeper warm colors. Beautiful.

[@MsJet1]

I agree with you. It needs something. That looks like a lot of fun!

[@SweetBuffies]

I actually like how it turned out. Very beautiful!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@sandybuchanan3479]

I think this color looks absolutely beautiful with your mantle which is beautiful.

[@sandravokes7330]

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the warmth of the colours. Looks fantastic!

[@jenabunch3647]

Looks awesome!! I'm not a fan of farmhouse or grey, but love this color! Looks warm and homey.

[@zoewilkinson2418]

Love the spontaneous Halloween decor... now dead. Looks classy.

[@sherrya6902]

That is a beautiful mantle...

[@monamorgan8614]

NEVER decorate/paint to please “others”, your home , your choice🥰👍🏻

[@sandiwhite5453]

Fantastic job, that's the thing about painting over red brick, if you whitewash it, it shows pink tones. 😳 love your sense of humor, your the complete package, super cute, funny, talented, and educational. Tfs

[@patriciavavra7375]

Yikes, those spiders look huge! There is nothing wrong with your hair. You look beautiful no matter what. I just discovered your channel, have really been enjoying it. I think the fireplace looks better with your last application. Thanks!

[@annkarr1591]

Wow, you have inspired me. I do all the interior painting, but haven’t tackled brick. You are fearless and it turned out great. I’m ready to go for it! TFS

[@jaybee8094]

Love that you went to the browns. Beautiful.

[@tinapoirier3524]

OMG I think it looks one thousand percent better!!!! It is breathtakingly beautiful! You did an AMAZING job on it! I love it!

You’re brilliant!

[@franceswitham8214]

I like this look much better. Thank you for an inspiring video. Love the piano background music.

[@trixiegirlism]

That looks amazing. So much warmer and classier than the white. The new homeowner will love it. Heck, it might be what sells the house!

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you! And i think you are 100% correct! I think there are usually a couple things that really stick in a buyer's mind when they walk through, so maybe they'll like this! 🤞 Have a fabulous week! Xoxoxo

[@trixiegirlism]

@@thepaintedsouth Oh, and I meant to mention ... as beautiful as the new paint job is on the brick, the chunky mantel and korbels that you and your husband made may be even more beautiful. Pared together ... perfection!

[@Hellzap0ppin]

the brick, and the mantle, look really beautiful!! 😍 do you mind sharing which lip color you're wearing? love it!

[@victoriabourgeois3273]

Beginning of video. Thinking the mantel is throwing the white off. Whatever you do it will be awesome. Ok back to watching. Tfs cheers

[@yarlettegebarowski5995]

I love the color you ended up with better. The little brownish color really looks so much warmer with more richness to me .it looks great with the mantle now .

[@lindap.p.1337]

Well, I loved the original brick, looked hand molded. But I looked at my brick for nearly 30 years and then painted it. I loved yours after you painted it, but It does look farmhouseish! Ooo I like the mantel and would like to see it stay. I like your new paint, it is not too dark. I think it looks a bit dressier which I bet you will like. Forget Ellens.

[@ElizabethCastillo-bb1ul]

So beautiful what a difference a little paint can make. WOW. Great job thank you for sharing with us. 👏🍁🍂🧡🍂🍁👏can’t wait to see your fall decor. Have a amazing day my friend 🍂🧡🍂

[@tammyholt8861]

Oh WOW i absolutely love the fireplace brick now its gorgeous!

[@TwinsationalRS]

Inspired me to paint my brick fireplace....!!!.Thx

[@missyslittlethingsinlife1920]

Very pretty. I have to confess, I was not crazy about the grey. Loved it after you warmed it up a bit. I would love to see you paint the fire box either black or dark brown (if they have it in the dark brown) in that high heat paint. I think it is made by Rustoleum. Anyhow, any home improvement store should know what you are talking about if you ask them. We are looking to move as well and yes, I am already packing. At this time, not even planning to decorate for fall.

[@terryobermark9354]

Bless your heart I don’t know if you know when to stop. That being said it always turns out amazing. The inspiration color you showed initially I believe would of been too modern for your home. Just as you didn’t feel the farmhouse style of white wash. Fall decorations look gorgeous with new color.

[@004dfa]

Anything you do turns out beautiful but I was excited to see where that gray was going. I bet you go back to your original inspiration after living with this for a few days. You inspired me to paint mine in the farmhouse look and I love mine but like you, I always knew I may go back over it one day. I’ll be waiting and watching for your next update.

[@valkyriesardo278]

I love that you fussed so much over your grout color and think you succeeded in achieving a realistic cool neutral color. More than that, I find it so refreshing to see someone layer a multitude of colors. The result will look far more natural, lovely, and subtle than just a solid coat of only one color.

[@thepaintedsouth]

Thank you so much! 😘🤗 Xoxoxo

[@carolnewby8747]

I have wanted to paint my brick fireplace. This inspired me to get started.

[@sharonpence6919]

Nice job, fireplace is beautiful, love your videos

[@Vk-mm4lf]

this video is very timely for me personally. I whitewashed a wall of bricks at my friend's house and neither one of us like it. We have been a little bummed not knowing what to do or not wanting to make it worse. but your video has given us the bravery to try some warmer colors adopting your attitude that we can always just paint it one color again if needed. I think the texture in the brick takes the paint so differently that it is more than just choosing a color you like. It is more challenging to get what our vision is in our minds to look the same on brick. Thank you for your video, perfect timing!

[@Melody-285]

LYNN Blount Wow - good timing ! I bet you were so excited to see this ! I think the key, like she said, is the layering - pick colors you like & then layer & blend - then sometimes layer some more - I think how you used the edge of the brush to either highlight or shade was really effective - good luck to you & your friend & have fun !
