I’m painting my house white. I’m glad I got to see what it looks like. My house is very similar

[hello]

There is a wood refinisher that is an all in one only clean and lightly sand doors and refinish doors to a new wood color.

I think the wood doors gives the exterior a nice, inviting feeling! And keeps some of the house's mid century character. And perhaps painting the top row of bricks in your half brick wall the same color as the window trim would pull everything together and tie the lights in nicely.

Obsessed with your home! Love what you did with the outside🥰

[nikkiep]

Katie the transformation is really coming together. Great job.

I’m only halfway through this video & watching you redo your outside makes me excited about our mid century modern house we just bought! I’m a remodeler by trade. So wish I could’ve jumped into this video to say, “Use a paint sprayer for your brick & start with a primer coat.” Also, use your power washer to wash your windows! Can you tell I love power tools? 😁 You’re doing great! Love mid century modern homes. I hope to be posting our progress too. Keep up the good work & have lots of babies!

1 You'll Probably Destroy the Brick
Brick "breathes." Unless it can't. Trapped moisture is the main issue in the relationship between brick and paint. "Once you put a membrane [like paint] over the brick, it can no longer breathe, " says Mike Palmer, a masonry contractor and president of the upstate New York chapter of Mason Contractors Association of America.

[paulbailey]

The look is great but for anyone considering painting brick please research products as brick is porous and a product that allows the brick to “breathe” is essential to the longevity of both paint and brick. Romabio is the product I plan to use but there are obviously other lime-based products. Also, be careful with the settings on your power wash as brick can break if the setting is too strong.

Fantastic job. You and David are doing a great job.

[marcycrossman]
