hi all.
recently moved into our new (old) home and in the living room there is a slate (so we've been told) fireplace. it has been painted to look like a wooden fireplace but it doesn't feel like wood so i can only assume it is slate. because it has been painted a dark wood colour it makes the room look very dark (it's quite a dark room anyway). we want to brighten up the room by changing the colour of the fireplace but because its so old and otherwise in perfect condition i don't want to do anything that might damage it.
any advice/tips?? thanks
