We redid our brick fireplace with local stone to create an old-world cottage fireplace… no demo required. I'm crazy about the old world feel it brings to the living room (even though this part of the house was build in the 1960's). Watch what happens with the transformation!
Make sure to follow us on YouTube for weekly videos from the cottage.

I love your fireplace! We have the exact same brick. Must be a Pacific Northwest thing. I have wanted to fill in the grout lines forever and maybe smear them a bit. I just used joint compound to fill everything in, like you did. And it cracked like yours did. I’m to the smearing point and wanted to double check if you smeared more joint compound or used something else that didn’t crack as much? Would very much appreciate your feedback! I love your homestead. Thank you for all your tips and ideas!
