Turns out this project was much easier than I thought it would be. I researched painted stone fireplaces and found some great techniques, two of which I combined. There is thedry paint method and the part water, part paint method. I decided to use the dry paint method with a bowl of water on the side; the combination worked perfect for this project.
I will include supplies needed below and a video to help you, should you decide to take the challenge. If you do get inspired by this post, let me know if you have any questions. So happy I finally did it! It looks much lighter and cleaner. 
Supply List
1) Vacuum with attachment hose 2) Vinegar, large scrub brush and bowl of water to rinse 3) Thick drop cloth for mantel and hearth 4) Paint (I used a combination of two cans I already had to get the right blended shade of tan and grey.) 5) Large paint brush 6) Containers with wide top opening for large brush to dip in paint and water 7) Rag to soak up excess water and blot paint 8) Cardboard to brush excess paint off
This hearth of stone makeover reminded me of a heart of stone makeover post I wrote last year. If you check out that link, let me know if it spoke to you. Have a great day and don't be afraid to try new projects!

Hello! I have a similar colored stone fireplace, and I am wondering if you know the exact colors you used to achieve this? I had trouble getting the video to load well enough to watch all the way through. Also, I see that this is 3 years old.. how did the paint hold up? Jenna, my sincere apologies! I did not see your comment until last night. Finally found the can but can't read the color. Looking online and found the closest match to be 370-C Sweet Corn, or if you want a tad more gray, 370-E Willow Herb. I mixed in a little bit of Kilz to lighten. Definitely practice on a rock from your yard to make sure you have the color you desire. I uploaded the video again, so hopefully it will play much better. Hope this helps and again, so sorry.
