This looks great and we just did our fireplace and we really love that grey wall color. Can you give us the maker of the paint and the color name? Thanks much

It looks wonderful! I am crazy about German Smear since I first saw it on Fixer Upper. Last summer we wanted to revitalize my son’s room from being a pre-teen to being nearly an adult turning 19 next month. So we German Smeared a whole wall in his room. Instead of using a red brick panel like you did, we chose one that had more gray and peach tones to match the gray that I planned to paint on the other 3 walls. It turned out amazing!! I posted it on Home Talk if you ever want a peek. I love your faux fireplace. My kitchen needs one of these pronto and it’d give me another opportunity to try German Smear again! Thank you for the wonderful idea for the faux mantle using smear to make the bricked in part look old. I’m definitely going to replicate this at my home!

In reply to Lanita Anderson. I'm so glad you like it Lanita! I'm so happy I decided to wait and go with the fireplace. I agree, I think it fits the style of our home perfectly. I've had that mirror for months and could never find the perfect spot for it. I guess it all worked out! :) Have a wonderful weekend sweet friend.
