Our house has a retro yellow toned fireplace in the middle of the living room. After years of disliking its heavy presence, I revamped it this weekend using a white wash. It’s made a dramatic difference, and it’s now a soft, contemporary feature I’m proud to have in the house.
It’s a fairly simple process. I cleaned the stones then wetting each one with a spray bottle, painted each stone in a water based white paint which I’d thinned to the consistency of milk. I also painted the grout to tone it down.
