I have done a lot of research online & as long as you're painting it I think it'll look great. One major tip I will pass on is to cut around the bricks where the seam would be on both pieces and put them together like two large puzzles so that you avoid that obvious seam. I also say ignore all the haters because everything you touch (aside from tetanus table) turns to gold :). I'm excited to see what you do & then I'll do my faux brick wall!! xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266220928148024194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-7587388195111621362013-03-22T15:39:47.323-04:002013-03-22T15:39:47.323-04:00Such a great idea!

I really want to put lace curtains in my living room. Have you done anything recently with lace curtains? I saw an article in Elle Decor that lace is on the runways and stuff now, I'm wondering what the new take on it will be for its revival before I purchase something that looks really grandma.<br /><br /><br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594114550103532713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-51368312527840789152013-03-22T14:22:23.649-04:002013-03-22T14:22:23.649-04:00I have to agree with the comment above about it be...I have to agree with the comment above about it being an ugly 70's throwback. This stuff was all over the place. It looks a little better painted. And I like the idea of cutting out the brick so it doesn't butt directly into each other but fits like a puzzle piece to stagger the seams. Maybe if it was used in a building that could possibly have brick walls (not a siding or stucco house) it would feel more authentic. <br /><br />In the 80's my parents built a huge fireplace, surround, hearth and shelf unit with the thin brick pieces. From what I remembered it went up easily but grouting was difficult.<br /><br /><br />Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949562665975873283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-65071714826655091892013-03-22T13:49:46.556-04:002013-03-22T13:49:46.556-04:00Oh man!

However, I didn't put up full sheets to make an entire wall of brick. What I did do was to break them up into smaller and uneven pieces, nail them to the wall in random places and then plastered the rest of the walls to give it the look like the interior or a warehouse that had brick walls covered in plaster, which had since starting chipping away. It sounds atrocious, but after the faux painting that I did and the rest of the (industrial) accessorizing, it turned out fabulous. Both of the boys love it and I get so many compliments on their room. That being said, I don't think I'd ever use it as a backsplash in my kitchen because, even painted, I can't imagine that it would stand up to the wear and tear (scrubbing included) that kitchen basksplashes need to endure.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01157363173029361525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-83381576269292629822013-03-22T13:01:09.292-04:002013-03-22T13:01:09.292-04:00not a fan of faux brick.....not a fan of faux brick.....Ivy Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534759584188444219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-47463409748637200302013-03-22T12:54:39.986-04:002013-03-22T12:54:39.986-04:00It might be interesting as a kitchen backsplash.

It looks like it might be from the early 90's (?) with peachy pink flowers and a terrible fake tile look. It came with the house. It's not holding up on the walls good at all. It's very warped and gross (again...it's old). We can't wait to rip it out. Maybe this new stuff is a little better now that its 2013 but I would never recommend it.
