For many years our fireplace has consisted of a mahogany surround, with creamy marble hearth and back, and I am getting tired of the mahogany and wonder if it could be painted as I am happy with the shape and size, just not the colour.
Unfortunately over the years I have beeswaxed it to a very high gloss, so appreciate this could be a problem. The owner of a local shop that sells Frenchic paint, which I understood to be an appropriate choice, thought it would be a difficult task which put me off somewhat. Has anyone ever attempted something like this, if so how? I don’t want to ruin it, as it is quite nice and was rather expensive, so is a new one the only option? Though it is probably not the time to be visiting shops to look for one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
