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.

I didn’t think about that, using faux painting to cover outside “blemishes” on a house. I have my water heater outside and it is covered up by a large very ugly plywood box. I think I will replace the plywood with newer plywood and paint it to match the wood siding of my house. Great idea!
Better than getting a metal one too as that would be just as ugly and you wouldnt be able to paint it!
