We did some research on our options to change this look. Since we are focusing on renovating the upstairs for now, we didn't want to spend a ton of money re-doing the bar and fireplace downstairs right now. We found that masonry stain would work and cover the color. Since we aren't sure what exact "design" we want to execute down on this level yet, we went with a more neutral slate gray to change up the color. At first I painted each brick individually, to maintain the grouted look. This is how that turned out...
At first I wasn't really sure about it. It's better than the mint and it's a low cost option. I thought about painting the grout too, but I think this look is growing on me now. We plan to replace the bar top as well since that grout is also mint green. We'll look to paint and replace the rug down the line as well... for now, I've also been working on staining the fireplace brick, so look for an update on that very soon! Let me know what you think!
What do you think?
