Cast iron fireplace renovation - AFTER
The verdict
Wow, what a transformation! Even Mr Kiwi was impressed. This has to be one of the cheapest and quickest renovation projects to do.
However, despite my careful masking of the tiles, I did somehow manage to spray them. But this cleaned off easily with "Tub & Tile" cleaner by EcoSense/Melaleuca.
Finishing touches
These cast iron fireplaces can look a bit stark and bare if there's nothing in them, so some pinecones were placed on the grate.
If you don't have any pine trees handy, you can sometimes buy big bags of pine cones on Trade Me - they're sold as fuel for open fires.
The other option is to use rattan balls, like the one pictured. I'm not quite sure where you can buy these: florists may be worth a try.
