Dresser Homes No, it was not limewashed. I'm not familiar with that process. This look was achieved by smearing the mortar on the brick while the bricks were laid. Good luck!

erinry Thanks so much for your response! Your homes are beautiful!!

Dresser Homes The furniture came from Smith and Hawkins, which unfortunately, is out of business. There are some other posts on this picture about comparable products and where you might find them.

ichidziva what do you call the outer brick treatment on the fireplace as well as on the exterior of the house. (partially painted facebrick)

Dresser Homes I'm not sure whether there is an actual name for it. It is basically just brick with the white mortar applied (messily) to the face of the brick. I have seen a similar look obtained when painted brick houses are sand-blasted.

mkhelton Is it smooth joint or v joint?

mkhelton never mind- I see. Thanks

Dresser Homes That was about 4 years ago, so perhaps they discontinued the "Hampton". It was a fairly basic red brick though and I'm sure you could find something comparable. Really, the look here is achieved through the white mortar and by having a really good brick mason.

jthoman555 Thank you so much. If you have any suggestions on a similar brick, that would be great. Your such a talented builder. Every picture of your work is stunning!!!

Penley Art Company The patio furniture was purchased from Smith Hawken prior to them going out of business. They have some product available at Target, but it is not the same furniture line. It does look similar to the Provance collection at Frontgate.

Dresser Homes The light fixture came from Masterpiece Lighting in Atlanta.

Dresser Homes The brick is from Boral Bricks and it is called "hampton". It is a queen sized brick. The mortar is white.

Dresser Homes We were trying to duplicate the look of some older houses here in Atlanta where the brick had been painted and then sand blasted off. (This is a new house, btw). We used white mortar (and white sand) and had the brick masons "smear" a little mortar on the bricks with their trowel as they went. Of course we did a couple samples first to make sure we had the look we were going for. We also pressure washed the brick lightly at the end of the job.
