SHE'S A BRICK...fireplace
One of my favorite features of this house are the two brick fireplaces in the living room and dining room. I know that they're virtually useless in Florida but for the two minutes that it is cold here, nothing beats a fireplace.
Unfortunately, the previous owners had painted over the brick on both of the fireplaces. I'm not a huge stickler for sticking to the traditional aspects of a home but if you can salvage the original elements than why not?
To start the process we got some non-toxic paint stripper. We didn't do much research on this aspect so we just went with what looked best and smelled least worst 🤷♀️.
We applied a thick coat to the bricks and let it sit for a few hours. According to the instructions you can let it sit for up to 24 hours but since we're working with old bricks I didn't want to risk compromising the bricks and mortar. We used a metal scraper to take the top layer off. Make sure you were a mask through this whole mask because even for a non-toxic mix those fumes had me LEANIN.
This first round took me a couple of hours. As I would strip the paint I would come back through with steel wool to take the excess off that wouldn't come up with the scraper. This process is super messy and you have to keep the steel wool wet so make sure you put down a drop cloth before you start.
I slowly began to notice that the fireplace was a mixture of red and cement bricks which is honestly a bit of a disappointment. I was hoping for an all red brick finish.
We applied another layer a week later and let the mix sit for a few more hours. Using the same process I stripped more of the paint off.
As I did this more I realized that I wasn't really getting all of the paint out because a lot of it was getting stuck in the cracks in between the bricks. I went back through and using the edge of my scraper I tried to get the rest of the paint from the cracks without taking the mortar off with it in the process.
This second round took me a whole day but by the end of it I was getting the hang of the process. And was able to get the top paint coat off of most of the fireplace. We still have some more to do but we're starting to see what the brick pattern looks like.
Anyone have any tips on how we should finish the bricks once they're stripped? Not crazy about the different colored bricks but obviously don't want to paint them back over so looking for any cool/unique options!
