I have always loved brick but I like old or used brick, not really a fan of solid clay looking brick... After almost 10 years living here, I FINALLY added Ralph Lauren sun fade glaze to my bricks...
Very nice! I have a fireplace with solid red bricks and I have been thinking about painting them, maybe I'll try a glaze first. Thanks for the inspiration!
Looks great! I hate that red clay brick too. By the way... didn't you say you posted about the pumpkin? Or was that on Facebook? Oh and Brody was asleep so I got his cookie ;) DELISH!
OHMYGOSH!!! I L.O.V.E. the brick and ...THAT MANTLE!! You KNOW that's exactly what I want to do to mine. Yours turned out beautifully! Great job, Jen!! {we obviously have to get together so you can teach me :) } ~TinaW
Yes I noticed you painted it in the first pic...you talked about doing it last year but was iffy....love the new look and all the goodies on your mantle...have not really seen it in the summer time...I love looking at mantles especially since I don't have one but want one.
Wow! What an amazing difference. :) Would you mind if I featured this easy transformation in an upcoming article? I write for the Examiner.com and this month's theme is DIY home. :) Let me know, thanks!

It looks great. We painted over our brick. I didn't like the contrast of the dark brick against our light walls.
