I had painted the paneling and doors earlier on. I held off a bit on the brick till I decided exactly what I wanted to do. We took out the insert that wasn&#8217;t really doing much. It could be a wood burning fireplace, but we were not sure we wanted to deal with the mess and money to get it inspected.   So we decided to put in an electric wood insert that does put off some heat and resembles a fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Before of the Fireplace Makeover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-IMG_7016-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"The Before fireplace makeover\" class=\"wp-image-1263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-IMG_7016-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-IMG_7016-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-IMG_7016-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-IMG_7016-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-IMG_7016-2048x1638.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-IMG_7016-850x680.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I made the decision that I wanted to paint the brick white.  I didn&#8217;t love the original brick color and it was so stained with soot. Now I just had to find the time to do it. We left over Thanksgiving to visit family in North Carolina. While we were gone, I got the best surprise from my mom. She came and painted the brick for me.  I was so ecstatic, by this point I was running out of steam and just wanted this done. It was an  eyesore at the end of the room. She started by trying to clean all the black soot off the sides and then used Kilz to paint over the stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-IMG_0760-1024x713.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-IMG_0760-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-IMG_0760-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-IMG_0760-768x535.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-IMG_0760-1536x1070.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-IMG_0760-2048x1427.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sacredimagesstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-IMG_0760-850x592.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brick soaked up the pain pretty good, so it took a few coats of white paint.
