the fireplace surround is a charcoal grey slat tile...looks even better with the fire glowing inside.

Can you paint cement and ceramic tile?

Hi Pamela, Yes you can but note that it won't last forever because it is paint after all. However when you apply it the correct way, it can last for a few years. You could use Homax Tough Tile Tub & Sink Refinishing Kit (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homax-Tough-as-Tile-One-Part-Brush-On-White-2106/202061380#) , which you can find at Home Depot for about $35 or so. I used it for the bath tub and tiles in the bathroom and love how it came out. Let's say that it is the next best solution if you want to change the look of your tiles on a budget. Just be aware that it is very toxic so you may want to wear gloves and a mask because the epoxy gives off some really nasty fumes. I’d even say, best to open the windows if possible. Having the right basics to work off are crucial so make sure to first and foremost clean your tile with the solution that is in the kit. Once the tiles are clean you can apply the epoxy paint with the brush that is in the kit. Don’t worry about the brush strokes, as they will even out eventually. You will need to apply more than one coat but make sure the first one is dry before applying the second one. It takes a few hours for the first one to dry. Two coats were sufficient to cover my tile and provide a great looking finish but if you want to apply more (depending on the tiles’ existing color) you can. Note that you can also paint the grout in between. On the box it says that it is completely dry after a few days but I’d say one week to be safe. A bit frustrating to have to wait that long but it’s worth the wait. Good luck! Elfya

comments on furniture placement?
Q
Commentaires (10)
Hello Catherine, It seems like a different solution is somewhat blocked by 1) the size/shape of the room, 2) the door and window positions as well as 3) the type and size of the furniture... (sorry I know this is obvious). Something has to give... Could you give the exact room size and confirmation of doors or passages? (door to the right? arched passage to the left of the piano?) Is the furniture that you have included actual or new? What are their footprints? How is the bay window done? full height floor to ceiling? starts at bench height? How is the window exposed? East, West, North or South? How high is the fireplace and is it's angled wall also full height? Most upright pianos are around 1m30 (or à little more than 4 feet). Putting a TV above it can be an option, but perhaps a little uncomfortable, not to add that visually it will be an odd addition unless you take the "fake painting" version (ex Samsung "The Frame"). thanks in advance, Lynn

should I paint my fireplace
Q

Hello genevieve Lepine Personnally, I'm more concerned about the red wall. If it will be treated in white, that's already a great step. The fireplace, staying the way it is doesn't seem too much of an issue. I'm not really too fan of glossy paint, either, especially on fireplaces. Painting over tile takes somewhat of a technical mastery, otherwise any missed movement can cause a scratch. If you have heat coming from the flames, the paint should not budge. Keeping the wood flooring, beige "faux stone" tiles and white walls allows many style choices. Have you looked into the work of Studio McGee? They alway keep the space neutral and add contrasting details. (Of course in my reference images, the fireplaces are white...why not? but perhaps not glossy). I'd replace the recessed lighting fixtures with white ones, as well. good luck, Lynn
