Painted brick rowhouse


In the 90+ degree heat of mid-August, we decided to paint the brick on the front of our rowhouse yesterday... ourselves. No, this photo is not of our house -- I wish!! This is just a pic of my favorite section of London - Kensington - which provided the inspiration. I choose a cream color. Later this week we will probably do the molding in taupe and the windows in white. We are purchasing a new camera soon, so I will post before and after photos then.

**Note to self: never again paint the exterior of anything in August.

Are you nuts? At least Saturday was not as bad as Friday! Can't wait to see pix!

Yes, a little bit crazy. :) Actually, this past weekend wasn't nearly as bad as last week... I realize not an ideal time, but it was the only time that we've been able to.

These row houses can recapture their authentic brick and mortar appearance.
