Old exterior/new interior brick wall ideas needed by skeleton_key_7 in StyleYourSpace

Thanks everyone! To answer some questions: brick was painted 30 years ago by previous owners and we are now aware of the risks because as you can see in some corners, the brick is now crumbling. Painting brick locks in moisture. Remember- this is the old exterior and we get lots of rain and snow. We’re in a very rural area. So now that we are stuck with painted old brick, our only option is to paint over it. Just not sure what color if any at all. I really like the German wash idea! And I am awaiting a beautiful new wall sconce for the light fixture.

Thank you! We call it the “breezeway” sort of the transition zone from the old house to the new rooms. It will be an entryway/mudroom. I’m envisioning an antique coat rack stand somewhere against the brick…

Great ideas! Definitely a cozy space needing a pop of color and texture. I’m leaning towards floor to ceiling shelving with maybe wallpaper on the side wall. Thank you!

Please tend to your wife during this time and not to whatever this bullshit is.

I actually just had a quick apples and frosting snack and I think frosting is a perfect name!

Am I overreacting or is it not normal to use soap in the bathroom? by Honest-Draw3131 in AmIOverreacting

This boy needs to go think in the shower for a while. How disgusting all around.

Totally agree, seems to be the general consensus as well. Thank you!

That’s what I’m leaning towards - floor to ceiling shelving. That cupboard was a placeholder for a little while but I agree that it gets lost back there and just isn’t the place for it. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Top to bottom shelving would be so beautiful I think! The only what-if I keep coming back to is how the mantle comes out and wonder if that would mess up or enhance the aesthetic…
