Heidi Holm We ordered the brick from a place called www.culturedstone.com. It was 1/4" the width of a brick and went on like tile. It was installed by a subcontractor.
Heidi Holm The ceiling fixtures are can lights from Lowes. A professional painter sprayed the ceiling for a couple of coats. I would definitely consult a professional if you're considering tackling it yourself. The color was black, which was a really hard choice for us to make. We were worried it would be too dark. However, I was able to view another basement with a ceiling done this way and, as our painter told us, it seems to make the ceiling disappear, not feel closed in. I think the white of the paneling may help in that area, too, though. We have no regrets. We were also considering a dark brown or a silverish duct work looking color.
