| the completed brick living room wall ~ all natural lighting... |
It is fake...but it looks real! It is something I have ALWAYS wanted, but never thought I would practically get. I love the old vintage look and this to me adds so much to my living room. I hired a lovely lady named Adrianne to do this for me. She had never done this type of thing before, but with her enormous creative abilities, I knew she would do me a lovely job...and she did! I highly recommend her if you are interested in any type of work done like this.
Here are the samples I gave her as "ideas" to work off of:
 |
| this one was my favorite with all the muted and layered tones... |
 |
| this was the type of color I wanted to achieve to match the fireplace on the opposite wall... |
 |
| we discussed adding a design, but opted against it... |
 |
| loved the texture on this wall... |
 |
| oohhhh, even looks good in the Kitchen! |
 |
| neat individually varied tones... |
Here is the final product:
Let's not forget what we started from:
 |
| in case you wondered what it looked like "BEFORE"...plain cream wall |
What do you think? You would have to see it in person...it absolutely looks and feels real! I am tickled pink red with it! Thanks Adrianne for a great job!!!
She started this back in the summer and finished it early fall. I am just now getting around to posting the pictures! Please forgive me for being behind in one of many things.
I love your wall! I have a stucco type fireplace with brick surrounding the opening. The previous owners had painted the brick the same color as the rest of the chimney and the walls. I really wanted to strip the paint off those bricks. The guy at the paint store suggested I just paint my bricks to match my hearth. So I did. I also painted gray grout lines. It looks so real. You can't even tell it's not the original brick color. What a great idea for your big wall. Kind of gives you that warehouse/loft effect. Love it.
