Painting A Wooden Fireplace Surround. We recently painted our wooden fireplace surround a deep lilac colour and have already had some seriously flattering feedback on the colour and finish (thank you everyone!) so if you're thinking of freshening up a room, here's how you can makeover your fireplace with a simple lick of paint. It's a short project, involving only basic diy skills.
Painting a wooden fireplace or fireplace mantel is no different from painting other wood trim in your house. Easy step by step instructions show you how i transformed not only the fireplace but the room as a result ! Sticking down painter's tape is a painstaking process, there's no doubt about it, but you'll thank yourself in the final. Since fireplaces are often a focal use painter's blue masking tape to protect surrounding areas and get clean, straight lines unless you have an extremely steady hand with a brush.
The veneer and painted surrounds provide a uniform.
