I love the inspiration for both. What about a limewash? Isn’t that a similar look to paint but less mainteneance? Reply
Good question! We are loving limewash right now, it is considered less maintenance but does create a different look and feel. We just added a section to the post with a link reference if you’re interested in learning more! Reply
Is the McGee home painted or limewashed? I’ve also seen a mortar smear over the brick or even stucco over the brick and it looks great! Reply
Any idea what color the dark blue paint color is? I’d love to paint my brick this darker shade. Thanks!! Reply
Such a beautiful inspiration post! Thank you!! I’ve got a red, 80s brick situation going on with some painted white and black. Not sure what to do! Reply
We used a product called Romabio on our brick. Highly suggest if you wanting to whitewash your brick. It’s totally organic and you’re able to adjust how translucent or opaque you want it. Painting brick seals it and the moisture has no where to escape. Romabio still allows the brick to breathe. Check it out!! Reply
Ask The Builder also has a great post on limewashing ("whitewashing") including a discussion on tinting the limewash recipe.https://www.askthebuilder.com/whitewashing-brick/ Reply
So beautiful! Another option is to find white brick. Serena Thompson @thefarmchicks is building a new home with white brick exterior and so far it looks stunning. Looking forward to more reveals if the magnificent McGee home as well! Reply
