Hi everyone!
My wife and I will move into my grandmother's old house in February. It's a lovely 1950s era semi, but needs a bit of work done. We plan to do the painting and decorating for ourselves to save a bit of money, but there's one thing I am unsure about.
In two of the rooms there are lovely old fireplaces surrounded by cream and brown ceramic tiles. At a time these were fashionable, and I reckon that when the house was built in the 1950s they were top style! But now they just look dated. I don't want to rip the fireplaces out, so I would like to try painting them instead, is it possible to paint ceramic tiles? In terms of heat resistance, we probably WON'T be lighting any fires - at least not in the bedroom fireplace, but if we did, I assume we'd need heat-resistant paint, right?
