If you are a regular visitor to my blog, you know that I love before and after pictures. They feed my creative side and give me inspiration. I know others feel the same with shows such as HGTV’s Fixer Upper and Flip or Flop becoming so popular.
Today’s post is all about painting brick homes. Don’t get me wrong. I love natural brick homes. I live in one and in its natural state. I happen to love the color of our brick. Not to mention, brick in its original state requires low maintenance. However, sometimes brick can look very dated or just not right. You may want to just lighten up your house if it’s dark. Regardless of the reason, I have found some fabulous examples of painted brick homes.
