Brick-Anew customer, Pat, purchased the twilight taupe Brick-Anew kit to remodel her outdated stone fireplace. Tired of looking at her dark stone, Pat wanted a lighter look.
Pat really wanted her fireplace to look like natural stone and not have a solid painted look. While researching some different options, she found Brick-Anew, and decided to give it a try.
“I played around with the application a bit. The paint colors in the kit looked amazing and complimented each other for a natural look.”
After Pat completed the project, her family and friends couldn’t believe the dramatic change.
“Some people thought we’d changed out the stone. They really couldn’t believe it was painted! I’m very happy with the kit and my new fireplace.”

Oh My Gosh…Is That the Same Fireplace? See What a Little Paint Can Do For Tired Old Brick
We’ve heard it all before. A fireplace with dark, outdated, and dare I say “ugly” brick has a homeowner exasperated, frustrated, and ready to pay any price to make it go away. Well, there is a solution that makes sense, doesn’t cost a fortune, and gives amazing results. Painting your brick fireplace gives a face-lift not only to your fireplace but to your entire room.
Warmer weather is just round the corner and even though there’s still snow on the ground in some places, it’s time to start thinking about updating your home’s decor for spring and your fireplace is a great place to start. It’s worked hard keeping you warm all winter and now it could use a little freshening up.
Brick-Anew’s easy to use brick painting system consists of three color choices…Twilight Taupe, Misty Harbor, and Frosted Sunshine. When you paint your brick with Brick-Anew, each brick will mimic real brick with several shades of color within each brick. Each of our kits contains five shades of paint which make up a unique color scheme. Take a look at the descriptions below to decide which one is right for you!
Twilight Taupe
This color combination has shades of taupe, tan, beige, and cream. The end result resembles tumbled marble. This neutral color goes well with a wide range of colors and decor. If you have hardwood floors, brown leather or upholstered furniture with rich tones, cream colored furniture, dark wood accents, or tan or medium tones on your walls, twilight taupe would be an excellent choice to lighten your room. Bright colored accessories add interest and a bold pop of color to your neutral background. On the other hand, you could create a clean, restful look using cream and tan accessories. A dark stained wood or rustic mantel would look beautiful against this color background.
Misty Harbor
This color combination consists of light gray, cream, and dark gray. This color works well with gray carpet or tile. The gray color theme works well with modern decor using black furniture and chrome/glass accent tables. You can add a few splashes of color with decorative pillows or lamps. A cream or black painted mantel would work nicely with this look.
Frosted Sunshine
This color combination has tan, beige and a yellowish-cream. This is the lightest of the Brick-Anew colors. The yellowish-cream enables this color to go well with “shabby chic” decor. If you have lighter colors in your room such as pastels or soft muted colors, you might like this color choice. It would also work well with light beachy decor and a pickled or driftwood mantel.These are just some ideas to consider when trying to decide on a Brick-Anew color. Each color combination is unique and every home has it’s own feel and personality. We want to help you choose the color perfect for your home’s decor.

Thinking About Painting Your Fireplace Brick?
What Do The “Supposed” Experts Say?
I came across this post http://lifehacker.com/5841375/properly-paint-a-brick-fireplace , the other day that features a fireplace painted with Brick-anew and started reading the comments regarding the article. It was fascinating reading the opinions of the “old timers” who oppose painting ugly brick. We hear this every week from ladies who desperately want to update their homes and fireplace, but their husbands say no!
