I started by taping and papering to protect the walls around the fireplace mantel. I had to sand because the surface was painted with a gloss finish paint. I then primed and basecoated with a light cream color.
The glazing process is what really brought out the stone surface texture. The darker glaze settled in the nooks, holes and cracks.
I think it came out pretty nice, what do you think?

Nice job! I bet you'll get a ton of visits to this post. I blogged about a fireplace makeover and the search engines send my blog a lot of traffic for the keywords "fireplace makeover". I love the texture with the stone.
Nicely done! Love the Befaux & After pics... :)
