The two upstairs were easy. We don't plan to use them, so we gave them a coat of black gloss paint. But, we needed to find a fire-friendly way to bring the one downstairs back to life.
After some research, it turns out the old way is still the best way: this past weekend, we re-blacked and polished our fireplace with black grate polish, like proper scullery maids. Now, I'm not saying I'd want to do it every day, but it was actually really fun.
It's amazing what a little black polish will do. Though, getting it out from under your nails is an entirely different story!
PS: Sorry there aren't any 'before' shots. We got too excited!
