| Dear fellow remodelers:
I have a home built in 1940 with a brick fireplace in the living room. I like my beautiful original wood mantel, but the brick surround is of that 70s-looking, plain red brick with darker grout lines. I want it to look more like the pretty mottled red brick with white spots. I wish I could upload a picture and I will if I can figure it out. Does anyone know what product/technique can achieve this look? Regards, Anna |

| I have seen on the web brick panels that might work for you. The panels are real brick, but a fraction of an inch thick so you can apply them in places where regular brick is not suitable. How to apply them on a brick surround might be a challenge. It might be best to hire a contractor with some experience to do that. I think if you do a Google search with a term like brick panel, you'll sources for such a product. I'm pretty sure they come in a variety of styles. Good luck. |
