The brick fireplace was painted with shiny white paint...beautiful! Tim hand sketched a design idea. The painters built out the form with drywall and filled the brick joints with mud. Then they a applied a heavy trowel texture to resemble stucco. We will add a wood mantle.

We also had them apply a lighter hand trowel texture to the walls before painting.
