I love interior brick walls - like the kind you see in Manhattan lofts. Did you know they make real brick that's only a quarter inch thick? It's called brick veneer and you can't tell the difference. You really can have a real brick wall in your home and do it yourself. I did! See the whole story at www.mycrappyhouse.com
Here's a close up of the real brick wall I installed in my house. (Mortaring in progress here)
My naked walls.
The process involves screwing special sheet metal panels to the wall, then affixing the brick.
You use mortar just like a real brick wall because it IS a real brick wall - just thinner. I love how this turned out! See more at mycrappyhouse.com.
