'mexican looking' fireplace

ilmbg
16 years ago

My daughter is building a new house. She wants a 'mexican looking' fireplace- the kind with stucco finishing, smooth, sort of rounded. I know somwone that has an older one- it is sooty on the outside of the firplace- meaning inside the house, above thr firebox area. Not heavily sooty, just enough that s looks sort of 'dirty'. Is this looking bad because it is a lighter stucco finish? It would have to be repainted every couple of years, I guess to make it look clean. I can imagine an inch thick of paint! Is this a common thing, or is the fireplace not built/working properly? Thanks
