Painted Brick
The unconventional decision to paint new brick not only serves as a cost-effective alternative to pricey white-pigmented brick exteriors but also introduces a nuanced texture to the façade of a house. Beyond its practical advantages, painting brick offers a unique opportunity to imbue a timeless aesthetic, effortlessly achieving an aged, weathered appearance. This technique is particularly effective in the context of a modern farmhouse. The versatility of painted brick allows for a departure from the ordinary, setting a house apart by embracing a spectrum of hues that resonate with individual style. The addition of historical character can be compounded by the intentional oversmearing of grout during the brick facade construction, adding a touch of authenticity to the exterior.
