I'd hold off on the brick until you are totally certain - I guess I just think that brick staining/painting seems more permanent than most things.Kim @ NewlyWoodwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306871325108889905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-75718663447795101212013-10-23T11:33:44.490-05:002013-10-23T11:33:44.490-05:00Katy, Valerie, and Chelsie---I think we will be ok...Katy, Valerie, and Chelsie---I think we will be ok because the gold never got that hot before.

I ask because we also have the blonde brick and gold doors.

I'm not a huge fan of painted brick, but I think in small doses, like this it would really make things Pop.<br /><br />Also, I thought about spray painting my gold insert as well, but someone told me that you had to use High Heat spray paint. Is that what you used? Or does it really not matter?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730288489217749185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-16117466809980976642013-10-22T21:59:02.875-05:002013-10-22T21:59:02.875-05:00Looks fabulous!

I think Young House Love and Bower Power have both done tutorials on painting and whitewashing brick. <br /><br />And I'm dying to hear more about the basement being finished! Is that happening soon? I can't wait to love vicariously through you. :)Kristalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844262891800455616noreply@blogger.com
