Guest Post: Painted Brick

I've trying to play catch up this week so I have a couple of my besties doing guest posts for me. Thanks Ola/Aleks from Realty Queen - be sure to check out her amazing blog full of realty tips, reno sneak peeks and lots of eye candy!

I recently ran into a dilemma. I'm helping my boyfriend renovate his house and we really wanted an exposed brick wall on the main floor, so we had the contractors expose an entire only to realize the brick ended up being really ugly. Normally I would never think of painting brick as I like the oh naturale look, but something had to be done about this wall. I wanted to paint it an off white, but before deciding on a white colour, I turned to the internet for some inspiration and to make sure the painted brick would look good. Here is what I found, I must say I got a bit side tracked with all the pretty pictures....

We ended up settling on antique white from C-I-L paint and it looks amazing!

But before I sign off, I also found these pretties and couldn't resist...








I saved my favourite for last....



After seeing these pictures, would you ever paint your brick?

Thanks again to Renee for allowing me to do a guest post on her ever inspiring blog!
