Is there any way to change the color of mortar?
The black mortar in the brick wall makes it far to dark - Is there any way to change the color without painting all of the brick? BTW, we already removed the stove and are installing very light maple hard wood floors

Ironwood Builders Changing the color of that mortar will require grinding out the existing mortar and tuck pointing in new, lighter mortar. Dirty and labor intensive....wait until the absolute hottest day of he year to tackle this one...no don't. That's my last job, not this one!

Ironwood Builders Did I say labor intensive yet? Dirty? Not really recommended because if you try to do it yourself...you have to be really motivated to succeed.

Darzy Hi Steve, on this brick wall I think I'd just paint it a creamy white. Then, put three fabulous canvas art the wall and make it a gallery. You can point the ceiling light directly on the art. That would look nice. Photo of creamy white painted brick:

Susanna I think Ironwood is right about no DIY and Darzy's idea I love. Gallery walls make me smile. However, If you don't like the suggestion for some reason, check out brick renew. com or brick refinishers online. I don't know them, just saying there are options to see.
