I decided that I was tired of how my fireplace looked and wanted to change it. Before we bought our house, there had been an insert in it that had to be removed before we could buy. The insert left a huge black soot(?) mark around the entire fireplace. In addition, the inside of the fireplace was covered in ash that had sat for years.
Yesterday I scrubbed it clean. It took a few hours and many many trips to the bathroom for clear water, when I finally gave up, it looked even worse than when I started. When I got up this morning, and all the water had dried, I had hope again! a little more cleaning and it was time to paint. It took two coats and a few more hours, but I am very happy with the finished project!
