Painting a brick fireplace

This is the fireplace from the living room side. The challenge was in protecting the freshly cleaned carpet, masking off the inside of the fireplace and the wood mantle that was built into the brick.

The paint I used matched the wall color the customer selected, and was a satin sheen. The brick was primed and then painted with an airless sprayer to achieve a nice, uniform coating while showing off the natural texture of the brick and grout without showing brush and roller marks. I forgot the camera before I started, so I don't have any "before" pics of this one.
