"Brick Whisperer" haha, love the video, thanks!

[sinbin_]

Wow this is the first video where I can’t figure out if I like the before or after better! The front of your house is adorable. Your stairs, windows and front door compliment both brick colors. Just beautiful!

The symmetry of this house is very aesthetically pleasing

[danielyawn]

Was gonna use a sprayer but your comment that each brick will still HAVE to be touched steers me away from that. Thanks. Looks great

[trentfancher]

That dude is hilarious!! And the house turned out great!

[GingerCinderella]

[irvinangulo]

How long did this take? It looks awesome!! I just ordered my lime wash!

[thomasfoster]

That is absolutely gorgeous what do you recommend on interior brick as far as distressing i don't want to flood my house. Thank you for an amazing video

Guess I’m the weirdo in the room that prefers natural brick. This trend is so popular that you really can’t find any ideas to modernize your brick home besides “paint it white!” My concern with this is that it’s so trendy, it will look dated in about ten years. For this reason, I’m taking my chances and trying to work with the natural red brick and tan stone exterior I have. However, lovely video breaking down the process of this technique, very cool!

[LauraBMalarkey]

I love this! And this video was actually really fun to watch, great commentary! :)
I'm considering doing this to my brick house but I don't want such a stark white finish. If I dilute the limewash more than 1:1, will it give me a more translucent finish? Thanks!

What’s the maintenance schedule on this? From MO where we see all season.

Hello, looks great, I have a Graco Magnum X7 sprayer, would that handle limewash?

[heathertrowell]

I’m looking to limewash our older house in hopes that the brick reflects more light than it absorbs. All the eco-friendly benefits are a major plus too. The inside brick fireplace has been painted with elastomeric paint and the shiny plastic finish looks awful—also the brick is very textured so it’s hard to clean so it also just looks dirty all the time. At least lime will wear well with time!

[popsballoonart]

What color paint is used? Is it white or does it have a certain name. I want this same color!

[mineralstains]

You could have used potassium silicate stains that we and other brands cover. You could have added the darker colors after. Without impregnation, the lime will fade over time, it’s good you used the shield. But potassium silicate will last much longer.

Good luck, at least you didn’t use latex, acrylic or elastomeric paint, so kudos on that front

instead of emulating years of water for the 'distressed' look, cant you just actually let that happen naturally? How long does it generally take for a limewashed building to actually develop this 'patina'? I imagine that all the old 1900's colonials in my area that have this distressed limewash look were originally just white...
