Anyway you could tell me what kind of brick that is around the fireplace and if you painted it? and if so with what? Thanks!

My house was built in the 80’s and has ugly brown brick surrounding the fireplace. Also, the ceiling is vaulted so the brick goes to the ceiling. I have considered painting the brick white like in this home. Would you tell me the paint color used to paint the brick. Also did you pour cement for a “topper” under the fireplace? I hope this makes sense?
