Using Brick as Faux Windows -Examples Please

16 years ago

We are building a stucco/brick home and will have some rooms that will not have windows. We would like to place an elemental style of a "faux" windows using brick over some of the vast stucco areas and even within the brick in some areas. Please post any photos that you may have of these.

We are actuslly in the process of "faking" some windows on our stone/stucco home. We have incorporated some brick trim for contrast around some window and the garge door headers. It looks wonderful. Anyways we are using the bricks and then a closed shutter look for our "fake" windows. I wish I had pictures. Your idea looks very nice, our might be a little eaier on the budget;)
