Faux Brick Painting

Another happy camper! Sharyn purchased the faux brick video and turned an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan… by using faux brick to create a Painted Patio Designs.

here is what she sent me:

I am attaching two pictures. The first one is to let you know what I wanted to cover. You know, the ugly meters for your electricity and stuff. The second picture is a box that I had my husband build so I could paint it and sorta make it blend with the brick of my house. It is not completed as you can see. The round part that surrounds the meter I was just going to paint a solid color but my husband talked me into painting it like the brick which I am in the process of doing. Also, the sides and top are not finished.

Please feel free to critique my work. I know it probably could use some more shading. Constructive criticism is always welcome in my house. Thank you. Sharyn.

The only thing I would suggest…. age the bricks so they look the same “age” as your house. You might do this with a brown glaze. Otherwise it looks fantastic!

Good job… I love painted patio designs.

You’re going to love this… these painted red faux bricks are really good. This entryway is so cute now. Don’t you just love the red painted front door?

Here is the email I got:

Hi Debra,

Thank you for all the videos you do, it’s really nice and helpful…

Here are some pictures of the wall I painted at home, all by myself….. I was very proud… it took me almost a month to do it, but finally it looks cool. When people come home they think it’s wallpaper and when I told them I painted it they have to go touch it….LOLOL

Thanks again
Carole

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
