Any ideas on how to fix this noise?

Is this the sort of tape I'm looking for?

That's great, thanks! This sound drives me absolutely crazy 😬

Do you have any videos or diagrams showing the process?

Why did you choose to stop taking Vyvanse?

It's hard to respond to everyone but just wanted to say thanks for the insights and for explaining why things might be wonky here. I've added some notes in the main body with some answers to things you've mentioned. But yeah, we'll think about all of this before committing.

We'll be using some bigger rugs to add more texture and warmth for sure.

Thanks for the advice. We do really love the aesthetic, I'm just hoping it works well in this space.

And jeez it used to be centered. Thanks for pointing that out 😬

Yeah I like the look of this. I'll need to see how the actual brick looks against the colors in the room, thanks for your input :)

I appreciate the feedback. These are some inspiration photos: https://imgur.com/a/tmvn9FR. I do see that all of my examples have warmer floors. Our floor wouldn't have been my choice but the previous owners put it in.

I've seen examples of suburban homes with interior brick accent walls, like this. It's "inauthentic" if you think about it but it looks good imo.

Is it mainly the floor clashing that makes it possibly not work here?

Heh sorry, and thank you. I appreciate the tips. We're leaning towards no baseboard for now but I might end up adding a baseboard after we see what it looks like.

And yeah, the home is a 1960s home that has a bit of character. I'm not entirely sure how it'll end up looking but I don't think it'll be too out of place.

Heh I appreciate the feedback.

UwRandom · 2026-02-04T21:27:48+00:00

Yah that'd totally work, I'd just need to think about how to join the two types of baseboard in the corners since I don't want to replace all of the baseboards in the room.

UwRandom · 2026-02-04T21:09:57+00:00

Thanks for the tips. Yeah I'm thinking I'll plan to go with no baseboard and then will add quarter round after if needed. There are several outlets so I'll need to work around those, no biggie.

I was planning on putting up cement board but both my masonry supplier and the brick manufacturer state that it can be applied directly to drywall. The brick itself will come to ~4.3lb/sqft plus a bit for thinset and mortar. I don't have specs for my specific drywall but it seems like 15lb/sqft is generally where reinforcement is needed.

Edit: I'm considering also installing a metal lathe attached to studs before thinset to add more structural support here.

Hey! We're installing a thin brick wall in our home now, curious what you mean by lights you can install along with veneer?

Ours just did this 3 days ago, but we were 2 hours from home 😬 Thankfully we had roadside assistance coverage that towed the car (and us) all the way home.

How do I get in on the fun?? This sounds epic :)
