I love the look of exposed white brick. It's kind of just cool and casual without really trying. I love the texture and character it adds. Funny thing about "character". During medical school, we lived in a house with character (AND charm according to the landlords). Little did we know that in this case, character meant old, creaky, and cold. Really, really cold. And it was in Wisconsin. Where the winters are frigid. It was a piece of crap. Yes, Mom, I just said crap on my blog. Twice. To this day, my husband hates the word character when describing a house. I guess if I want my dream loft in a super cool city, I will have to use a different word to describe it. But don't worry--I'm pretty handy with a thesaurus.

I love exposed brick walls!
ReplyDeleteI adore WHITE brick walls too!
ReplyDeleteWe have some. In our kitchen actually. It was awful colored brick when we moved in and we painted it white and it looks so fresh and lovely. I love that this look is in style 'cause that brick was going to take serious demolition to get out.
ReplyDeleteThe white brick walls are so chic!

There could be a whole post on design code words that are meant to make terrible things sound good. character=old, cozy=tiny and on and on. That said, I love what the white brick has added to the spaces you've posted. I love the textural feel of it all...I'm really wishing that our GIANT white wall was brick right now...just to have some texture so it doesn't look so boring!
