Lime washed red brick

Posted by Losa Atchley, on Sat 10 Mar 2018 04:05am

I bought a fairly new plain red brick home that has high ceilings and definitely not a period home that would fit a limewash. Basically I’m tryinf to see how difficult it is to do this or should I get a quote. I want the house to go from red brick and black shutters to limewashed with natural shutters and more of a country French look to match the rustic interior decor.

never paint brick, you will be giving yourself a ma££ive maintenance task for the rest of your life, and if you don't maintain it the brick will become damp and get damaged - trust me its REALLY REALLY dumb thing to do
