You just talked me out of buying expensive stone faux panels! This is so beautifully aged and imperfect! I do wish you'd shown your detailing of the "lime" distressing though. Thank you for giving us this video.
Thank you for this, we were planning to buy these panels at Home Depot and I wanted ideas on how to make it look like old worn bricks. You just helped us decide to buy those panels for sure!
I bought the panels at Lowes, but they also sell them at Home Depot for about $25.00 per 4x8 panel. They're already 3-dimensional and have rough "aged" bricks mixed throughout the pattern. My wife doesn't want the red, so I'm planning on going over with whites/browns/grey to hopefully create what she did in this video. I'm creating a wine cellar, and from experience, I can say there's one thing she didn't do that I highly recommend. I cut the seamed bricks away piece by piece so I could create a seamless look. If you notice right over the door, you can clearly see her seamed panel. If you cut every-other brick out (using a jig saw) then you can put them together like a puzzle. I've had several people see my unpainted, but installed project and they have to go touch it to see that it's not real brick. Pretty amazing if you take some time when your building it.
@@eddierivera2908 On other how to videos, they cut every other half brick going down the panel, then you have full bricks only, and, no seam in a brick.
@@eddierivera2908 I've watched a bunch of these videos, I am going to try to make the bricks on the wall out of joint compound or mud. They seem to come out rather real like.
this is friggin amazing to me!!! ..such a brilliant idea and it looks great. I would seriously never know the difference between this and the real thing. I cannot wait to do this in my kitchen. thank you, thank you, thank you, for posting this!!
I thought you did a great job video taping and thanks so much for sharing your technique. I've been wanting brick but don't like the idea of the "finality" or the price. I have a feeling that down the road a ways, I'll get tired of it so this is a great, inexpensive, temporary fix. The concrete patch was the icing that completed the look.
I used this method to do a wall in my office, only went with a little more white to lighten it up some. Turned out fantastic! Did not use the concrete patch, just touched up mortar with gray paint.
I just want to say thank you!!!! I did your method in my foyer (we have a fixer upper) and it is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you for bringing out my inner artist!!
Gonna use this to do my kitchen. First I have to make it look like basic brick first. The kitchen in our new home has faux brick in the kitchen but the last owners painted in straight grey. I want them to look like exposed brick again. Wish me luck lol
I think this is amazing, and seeing the other comments really helps. what is the stuff in the tube that makes the concrete look? That's what I need to know. I think this is an amazing video, I love that it moves fast, and it's awesome... Can't wait to try it in my old farm house. : )
Great Video! Can yu lease tell me what your used for the brick mortar in between the bricks that applied with the caulk gun and your fingers? It looks amazing!
100 years from now, and here's what will still happen way too often on the U-toobs: vertical phone shots, and background music that is way too loud...and people who think this is a real brick wall she's screwing around with. It would be the end of the world of course if there were no background music at all here. Other than that, I think she got excellent results. This is the precise look I'm after, and is probably the best way overall I've seen to go about the faux brick wall look. This way you can really tailor/tweak/re-tweak the results to to suit your individual tastes and application, with the least amount of expense, hassle, and retrofitting, while still maintaining an authentic appearance. You just gotta be sure you don't have any unsightly/awkward gaps anywhere at the ceiling/floor, etc. where the entire field doesn't look finished off - as a real bricklayer would've made sure of. That can take some tweaking to get your grout lines evened up and looking spaced correctly. Only time I've previously done this was years ago with the individual 1/4" thick fake bricks, and that allowed for getting the grout lines and spacing of the entire field right, as big a hassle as it was. That part _does_ need to be pretty much perfect. (See James Bright's comment on this video here.)
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@Jayceon Nikolas I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
so I didn't see any white wash action on the bricks with the edge of the sponge.. what color did you use, and then you sped the film up putting on cement or something.. why didn't you show the whole procedure... left us hanging,.
I’ve been a mason for 55 years and I have never seen the clay run down the bricks! I have seen acid cause the dye used in bricks run down the wall when cleaning. The UV rays, dirt, carbon from cars and tree sap build up is what you’re referring too, not the clay.
Tonya Rowley she used concrete patch in a caulking tube and applied it with her finger. idk what brand though. just ask someone at home depot (or wherever you buy your supplies at) for some assistance finding the stuff. they should be able to point you in the right direction.
Michelle Victor the concrete probably does feel real, but I doubt the brick does, seeing as it's just basically a heavy duty cardboard panel and paint.
All that work to have a straight seam above the door 🤔 I have to say that would bug the bejeezus outa me , shame really cuz for the time to cut it, would have been well worth it.
Mam can i make this on the real concrete bricks of my room wall or not? Though you have shown video done on panel bricks can this process can be apply on real concrete bricks or not
I've used 3 different colors of concrete stain to color real concrete doing the method with sponges as she did, with beautiful results. Just dip into the concrete stain colors as she did and dab, smear, blend and get an amazing "stone" look.
The image of the bricks surrounding the video have bricks that look chipped, which I love, but how is that achieved with the technique she's using? I understand she used a concrete patching material for the mortar but that would have to sit on top of the fake brick for irregularities. That's not how it looks in the photo. Perhaps the image is what she is using as reference.
I think that the patch was allowed to coat some of the edges to soften them. It looked like she applied the concrete patch pretty liberally. I've also seen where a chip brush is used to punch over the "grout"/patch to soften it a bit and that should also help to soften the sharp lines.
Seria buenísimo si fuera subtitulado el vídeo, p pues no se ingles y no entiendo no puedo suscribirme, gracias soy d Ecuador como seras soy latina, saludos y gracias , bay
you don't really give info on products used or what you did for the grout. u kind of just did it and didn't say what the product was. also it would have been nice to see up close work and not the thin pic in the middle. can't really see well what you do. it looks great, but not the best directions, especially towards the end.
If imperfection is far more interesting and “realistic” than why the hair extensions, botox, fillers, pencil thin eye brows, bleached hair? Not judging you.. I bet you would look more authentically attractive natural and um, realistic and more interesting vs plastic.. thanks for the tips though.. but I assume these opinions aren’t universal.. which is ok..
You are not nice... She is beautiful and so is her artistry. Didn't your mom ever tell you if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything? Well, take the advice. BE KIND!
Literally one of the most idiotic catty pointless comments ever. You have to love when people don't understand words, such as "Judging". Taking a big list of completely judgemental things and forming it into a snarky question doesn't change the meaning of the word judging. Then to top it off with a follow up sentence of how you think the things you "aren't judging" should be. - reinforcing the fact that yes, you are indeed judging. Just curious, if you aren't judging her then what are you doing and what's the point of this comment seriously?
This video is mis-titled and misleading. I appreciate the method but "faux" means FAKE, and this is not fake. Too much chatter in the beginning and skipping over the actual methods of each step is extremely unhelpful. Redo the video to include ALL steps. Suggest you re-title to "how to make new brick look old" because that's exactly what I was looking for when I stumbled upon this. Thanks for the idea!
This is the best faux brick on the internet! I am going to do my best to replicate this. Thank you! :)
You just talked me out of buying expensive stone faux panels! This is so beautifully aged and imperfect! I do wish you'd shown your detailing of the "lime" distressing though. Thank you for giving us this video.
THank you for sharing your faux brick skills! It looks amazing !
This is such a cool video! I just wish you had shown how to apply the white at the end.
Good technique overall. Cut the edges with a jigsaw to create a staggered pattern that blends without any visible seams

I have been trying to figure out a way to rid of the seam and you NAILED it. I will do that when I perform this task. Great advice and thanks a bunch.

This is very interesting but I gave up watching. The very narrow view was annoying, Kathryn is really good but the camera work was distracting.
That is the best result i have seen I am going to do it
Gonna use this to do my kitchen. First I have to make it look like basic brick first. The kitchen in our new home has faux brick in the kitchen but the last owners painted in straight grey. I want them to look like exposed brick again. Wish me luck lol
I think the paneling would be a great template for attaching real half bricks. Especially if the paneling was attached to the wall well.

Rheda Dolinger I found a reply to this question... she used concrete patch brand unknown from Lowe’s or home depot
Great Video! Can yu lease tell me what your used for the brick mortar in between the bricks that applied with the caulk gun and your fingers? It looks amazing!
Great video! How did you fill in the panel seams?
Does it have to be latex paint? I'm not allowed to use that in my apartment but this looks amazing.
A cat litter pan has higher sides, and they have liners for easy cleanup.
it is so nice !!
BEAUTIFUL
I like the industrial brick that is more beige than pink. Can't find this color brick panel anywhere, only the pink.

SO type of paint do you use for this? I assume its not a latex paint....
Where do we get that brick panel to start with. Also, is there a place for us to post our finished projects for you all to see?

I live in a tiny house. I have a small wall like this in my house. For cost saving do you think I could use spray paint on the sponge?
Have you ever spray painted in a tiny home?
I’ve been a mason for 55 years and I have never seen the clay run down the bricks!
I have seen acid cause the dye used in bricks run down the wall when cleaning.
The UV rays, dirt, carbon from cars and tree sap build up is what you’re referring too, not the clay.
What's in the tube that made the concrete look..
Yeah, that's what I was wondering...
Hi! What did you use for the grout?
Tonya Rowley she used concrete patch in a caulking tube and applied it with her finger. idk what brand though. just ask someone at home depot (or wherever you buy your supplies at) for some assistance finding the stuff. they should be able to point you in the right direction.
What kind of paint? Latex, oil? exterior???? Thanks
Could you show us the whitewash technique that you used to back the bricks look tumbled please ?
I read the reply down below thank you
That's fantastic. Does it feel like natural brick?
Michelle Victor the concrete probably does feel real, but I doubt the brick does, seeing as it's just basically a heavy duty cardboard panel and paint.
Michelle Victor mambo
I love antique brick. Great job
Where is the first video on how to get the concrete look in between the bricks?
All that work to have a straight seam above the door 🤔 I have to say that would bug the bejeezus outa me , shame really cuz for the time to cut it, would have been well worth it.

Concrete patch in caulking tube.
Wow

Please learn to film horizontally with your phone. Keep up the good work.
I Agree.
What do you use for the grout?

You're so cute, and nice voice....Saludos desde Guanajuato Méx.
Don't EVER do vertical videos... Good tips though :)
Doesn't bother me

Why the camera man focus on her instead of the brick wall?
because she is very good looking :-)
you don't really give info on products used or what you did for the grout. u kind of just did it and didn't say what the product was. also it would have been nice to see up close work and not the thin pic in the middle. can't really see well what you do. it looks great, but not the best directions, especially towards the end.
I wanna make the opposite 🤦♂️
Watched for 8 minutes to find out how you did the grout and got NO explanation. lame
She said she used Concrete Patch in a caulking tube. Hope that helps. :)
Currently these panels are $44 each at Home Depot. Way too much.
😂 you want the to be 10 bucks it’s full drywall sheet
Watch utube! How many videos do you see made in portrait mode? You should have known this!
Great content but camera work totally ruined the video!
Don't waist your time watching this ..if your trying to learn. Who ever was recording did a bad job.
Nn
you are rad. perfection is not interesting!!!!
you messed it up l
Can’t watch this format is terrible!

Suggest you re-title to "how to make new brick look old" because that's exactly what I was looking for when I stumbled upon this. Thanks for the idea!
It is faux - she starts with "brick" paneling. It is not real brick, just made to look like it is.
Did you watch the video? It's not real brick....it's wooden brick paneling that she retouched
