How to Paint a Brick or Stone Fireplace
Looking for a budget friendly way to update your outdated fireplace? If so, you aren't alone! Many homes today still feature brick or stone fireplace surrounds in dark or dated styles that haven't aged well over the years. These materials can be expensive to demo and replace, but the good news is that most fireplace surrounds can be easily brightened up with a bit of paint. Read on for tips on using Jolie products to make your fireplace work more seamlessly with the rest of your space.

Tips & Tricks
How to Paint a Brick or Stone Fireplace
1. Surface Prep:
When it comes to painting your fireplace, there isn't a whole lot of prep work required. Depending on the condition of your fireplace surround, you may want to begin your project by giving your surface a quick cleaning to remove any dust or grime. If you have soot that has accumulated over the years, use a degreaser to remove, then rinse well with water.
Right before painting, we recommend using a spray bottle to spritz the brick or stone with water. This will help the paint settle into any grooves or recessed areas, making the painting process go much more quickly. If working over a large area, you may want to work in small sections, spritzing and painting as you go.
2. Color & Finish Selection
Typically, homeowners that are painting a stone fireplace are looking to tone down the existing color, either to make the material look more natural or to help the fireplace blend more seamlessly with the rest of the space. Because of this, we tend to recommend sticking to more neutral paint colors, such as whites or colors naturally occurring in brick or stone. However, it's important for you to consider the style of your home and choose a color that complements your space and personal style, which could mean opting for more color.

Maria's Story
"It has always been a dream of mine to open up a restaurant and offer traditional dishes from Mexico. With the help of God and my family I was able to open up for business on February 17, 2023 and offer a taste of our culture to beautiful East Texas. Antony and I are both originated from Mexico but lived in Dallas Texas for many years. We would frequently take fishing trips to Lake Fork and came across Winnsboro 17 years ago. My husband and I fell in love with the small charming town and how welcoming everyone was towards our family and decided to move here the following year."

A REMINDER OF HOME
We absolutely love this place! With my mom being Hispanic and growing up eating authentic Mexican food, this place has given us a piece of that homemade style cooking we grew up with in our Nana & Grandpa's house along with family occasions.
