DESIGN IDEA: PAINTED BRICK!

August 10, 2012
  • Share
Bricks painted gray in an arched doorway in a kitchen

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating getting rid of classic exposed brick walls in interior design and decor BUT…I do love this painted gray brick here around the arched doorway on the columns in the modern kitchen.

So elegant and calming I think. Lots paint exposed brick white but I’m liking this gray.

kitchen with painted gray columns with white cabinets and silver french door fridge

What do you think? Should we leave exposed brick alone or does this gray painted brick work for you!

Happy Friday!

P.P.S.  Going to dinner tonight with some fun friends…lots of couples…nice couples…need a date…any ideas…I am open for suggestions? 🙂

P.P.P.S.  Follow along on COCOCOZY Pinterest please!  See my new pins!

    First of this IS lovely! The chevron brick floors? Not sure how that works practically but I love how it looks.

    We recently exposed the brick in our Victorian; what we found under plaster was really beautiful, in great condition red brick. It gave me pause because the color was gorg, but after some deliberation I went with the original idea of a whitewash and I love it. I think often times exposed brick can feel too dark and daunting, esp in narrow rowhouses.
    Paint allows for texture and feel of the brick to show through.

    Gray paint is beautiful. I wouldn’t have known it was painted, but it blends really well with everything. I say gray painted bricks work for me.

    I love painted brick. Especially the grey. I’m right on the edge of painting our wood floors white too! The look is beautiful. It’s just a big decision!

A quick history lesson for this Monday morning. Th A quick history lesson for this Monday morning. This Spanish-style home located in Malibu is actually a museum. I visited the Adamson House a few years ago. The beachfront house was built in 1929 and sits on six acres. The home was designed by Stiles Clement for Rhonda Ridge and her husband Merritt Adamson. The Adamsons used the property as their beach house until 1936 when they started living there year-round. Rhoda's father, Frederick Hastings Ridge, was the last owner of Malibu making the Adamson House a historical landmark. No photos were allowed inside.

I used to live in a cottage in Los Angeles. So whe I used to live in a cottage in Los Angeles. So whenever I come across a cottage rennovation I get excited. I discovered this charming English cottage on @houseandgarden. The home is dated back to the 16th century. The new owner wanted to add her personal style inspired by Scandinavian interior design and her time spent in Portugal. So many beautiful details in every room. Which room is your favorite?
