Fireplace

Has anyone removed stain from a fireplace and restained it / painted it? Is it difficult to do this??? Anyone have any pictures?

Thanks in advance!!! I HATE the way mine looks! It is oak, and right now it is stained a darkish natural wood color. Ideally I would like to paint it white, but someone told me that you can't paint oak because of the grade of wood?

Anyone have any info??? Thanks so much!

You'd have to sand it, then re-stain it.

You can paint over oak(no need to strip just lightly sand). Use a good primer like Kilz and then an oil based quality paint.....white fireplaces are gorgeous........
