We had the honor of transforming the brick this fireplace for a client recently. Julie loves her fireplace but was tired of the red in the brick and wanted to keep the brick looking authentic and not painted.

So I fiddled with products and with techniques until I figured out a look that we all liked.

And it ended up that we used these 2 products. 

First, Jen covered the brick in 80-90% Grizzle Gray from Sherwin Williams.

Then, Stephanie came behind her and added a little Ebony Stain and Seal that you can order online on my affiliate link HERE.

They “smooshed” the 2 colors together and ragged off a little as needed so that there was still DEPTH to the brick.

In this picture you can see the bottom is done and the hearth is not. Huge change, isn’t it??

    I really like how this turned out! It’s nice to see a treatment other than whitewashed brick. Thanks for linking up with our Merry Monday party!

    I love this! I want to update my fireplace and I think this might be the winner. Did you do something to the mortar? It looks so much lighter in the “after” picture.

    What does the 80-90% coverage in the paint mean? Was it diluted?

    Yes would like to know what 80-90% means & is there another product to get locally without the crazy shipping cost?

    So did you let the grizzle gray dry first before adding the stain, or did you apply the stain while the paint was still wet?
