Faux Brick Painting

Restaurant’s are always a good way to get ideas for home decorating. This dining room used a great color combination in the choice of paint for Tuscan dining room.

Of course the fireplace is huge… and the ceiling tiles wouldn’t be my first choice for intimate dining.

But… the medium wood tones and red brown leather color of the chairs are good choices for Tuscan dining rooms.

The red brick above the fire place is easy to achieve with paint. Really.

It doesn’t take much to create a warm, rustic environment for a Tuscany style dining area.

Bricks can be painting to look like your fireplace has an exposed brick chimney or they can be used on the walls combined with a faux finish… so they look like broken plaster with bricks peaking out.

The walls in a Tuscan Style room are usually… (not always) but usually painted in gold. This is just a standard in Old World Design. I try not to fight the trends…

Instead of a gold faux glaze or gold faux leather wall finish… I would love to see something even more distressed like this picture.

The layers and cracks are amazing.. and of course you can learn how to create the cracks and bricks with the Faux Brick Video.

Recent mail has been poring in about a video to paint the Tuscan Look. It’s hard to know just what the Tuscan look is… as it can mean so many different things to different tastes. Below… you will see a letter I recently received from someone who purchased my

Faux Brick Video

and used it in conjunction with her mural talents to create a Tuscan design in her kitchen.

Dear Debra- Attached are the results of my FIRST faux brick project. This is a small work space off my kitchen.

Everyone loves my little space. I would highly recommend this Faux Painting DVD to ANYONE! Teresa Heinz, Boise, Idaho

I love to get emails from painters who have used my instructions and had wild… huge… success! I am constantly asked How Do I Paint Tuscan Style With Breakaway Paint. This gal is just starting her paint business and she needed to learn how to paint something that resembled breakaways for faux bricks on the walls.

Good Morning Debra!

I pitched a job for a retail store and used one of the recommendations in one of your emails… “If you don’t know how to do it but know you can learn it….fudge it with your client and you will get the job done(or something like that)!”

So we talked about breakaway brick and I said I can do that, and gave her the proposal, and off I went to my computer and found you!!!

I ordered your Faux Finish DVD and started to practice.
