White Washing a Brick Wall

Beneath My Heart
by Beneath My Heart
We had an exposed brick wall in our master bathroom addition that I was scared to paint. The brick was an ugly orange-y color, so I took the plunge and white washed it. I am so glad I did! I love the way it turned out. We are not finished with the trim on the doorway or the crown molding, but we are getting there.
I love exposed brick, but the orange-y brick was not what I wanted in this bathroom.
I was actually surprised how easy it was to get this look. To see how we did it, click on the link below.

    Would white washing brick work if the brick were behind a wood stove?

    going to try this with the dark brick backsplash in my kitchen to brighten it up! besides I am a cake decorator and am always getting powdered sugar, frosting on the dark brick, this way it will look better! (maybe I should just frost the backsplash!!)

    Beautiful! My husband isn't in favor of painting brick so I suffer with the ugly! Thanks for sharing your photos!
