working on a fireplace wall in my bedroom to make it look more vintage. had painted to the brick a chocolate brown (don't ask me why?) a few years ago so have spent the last week or better scraping all the brown off with some paint stripper and a wire bush. Not fun! Now I want to give it a warm, vintage feel. I sure would appreciate any advice so as not to have an OOOPS! I'm about over those! lol! Thanks!
