The link is here: http://www.usreclaimed.com/new-blog/<br />He had just tore those down from an old house and they were sitting on the counter. I agree about the price. At $35.00 each I snapped them up.

Then you can apply it with a piece of wood or stipple it to add texture to the brick. The wood shelves will be so lovely. I'm having a predicament myself about shelving surrounding my fireplace. I have some old wood I've been saving to make a dining table that might just be lovely as shelving. But then white might just be lovely too. Maybe I'll wait and see yours and it will help me decide...karen@somewhatquirkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772267613790523188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-65883817032760661692015-08-22T12:49:07.264-07:002015-08-22T12:49:07.264-07:00Love love love ~ cannot wait to see the finished p...Love love love ~ cannot wait to see the finished product! xoLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933214618325580791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-6542122118758727692015-08-05T11:46:01.268-07:002015-08-05T11:46:01.268-07:00Looking good Leslie!!Looking good Leslie!!ℳartina @ Northern Nestinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03492503626430263274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-21965050587701151972015-08-05T07:52:39.590-07:002015-08-05T07:52:39.590-07:00SO EXCITING! i love seeing this project evolve, an...SO EXCITING! i love seeing this project evolve, and this fireplace and wall are looking amazing. i am still contemplating a whole wall of reclaimed brick (to be painted white) in our kitchen and have a great source, but it's gonna take some guts i think! love that you are using reclaimed wood and such natural organic touches which will warm the space and give it so much architectural interest. my hat is off to you, maker of lovely! keep up the imaginative work!michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147970920141315262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-47331522757464046142015-08-04T18:59:26.054-07:002015-08-04T18:59:26.054-07:00I love the white painted brick.

I always love your style and inspiration. The painted brick looks fantastic! I am a big fan. I have painted brick white a couple of times in my homes and I grew up in a 60's home with a white brick wall and fireplace. This looks like home (and yes, my mom has a very stylish eye too!). Watching the progress on your home has been so much fun. I can feel your excitement! <br />xx, HeatherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032908426814046368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-60216914864154245582015-08-04T06:20:01.820-07:002015-08-04T06:20:01.820-07:00Leslie,

That's where our son and DIL live---I'll have to check it out sometime. We painted our brick surround on our fireplace and I've never regretted it. And, just my personal opinion, I don't think brick is ever out of style. It's classic. :-)<br />I love seeing the progress you're making.<br />xo,<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064699521293763744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028673509424034947.post-48843336871797442522015-08-04T01:53:17.345-07:002015-08-04T01:53:17.345-07:00I love a white brick fireplace.

I can't wait to see how you use the old boards and corbels! I think once the whole fireplace wall is finished, you won't even notice the difference between the old and new bricks. I'd love the built-in tv with custom barn doors to hide it all!
