Have you seen the Romabio lime paint? Check them out on facebook!

Thanks kjoy! I really like the brick as well, I'm just a little iffy on the color of it. In person it's quite dark. Just wondering if there are some minor ways to brighten it up a bit

I think if you lightened just the grout it would look lighter.

2014diane I wondered about that! it is an unattractive dark beige color. Any idea how to lighten the grout?

I love your brick personally. Your room looks amazing. Try cleaning the brick, or swapping out the grill for something in a lighter metallic. That may help with the darkness. Lightening the grout or a very light whitewash are always options too.

We LOVE brick but you have some options. The wood beam would go well with a lot of different things. This is one example of a fireplace we supplied with Austin White Stone Sawn along with an outdoor fireplace using Oklahoma Multicolored Natural Stone (Flagstone) which has tons of color but also goes well with a lot of different color schemes.

Romabio lime paint! You can wash off what you don't want. So paint the grout, leave the brick. If you dont like it, it's removable for a number of days. They sell it online at home depot. I did my fireplace!

I think I would paint the mantle first and then see if white paint would work.......but paint on the brick would look nice and you could add artwork over the mantle.
