The tiled floor was then left to dry.

I then brushed a thinned mix of black & brown paint into all the gaps between tiles including the cracked areas.

It was again left to dry.

I then turned my attention to the fireplace giving The stonework a coat all over with ‘Ivory’.

I thought the stones would look good with a patchwork of colours. So alongside black & white paints I picked out a variety of colours that I thought would go together.

I started with one colour and after painting a few random stones I then moved onto another colour until I felt it looked right. In the end the colours I used were ‘Red Leather’, ‘Leather Brown’, ‘Burnt Cad. Red’, ‘Ochre Brown’ and ‘Yellow Ochre’. The stones were then given a dry-brush with white to tone them down a bit and then I painted between the stones with a black wash. The hearth & mantle were painted & dry-brushed with ‘Ochre Brown’, ‘Yellow Ochre’ & ‘Ivory’ to hopefully look like sandstone (it’s turned out a bit bright in the photo though). I also dry-brushed some black on the front stones and mantle to give the impression of soot.
