Another design dilemma in our new home (pending sale) is the pinkish brick. I was thinking we could go very light on the walls such as BM balboa mist and paint the fireplace charcoal or a similar dark earthy color. The other option was white but I think white brick can tend to look dirty over time. Our style is eclectic with some antiques set against light neutral walls, wood floors and a few mid century pieces. The photo is from the listing and not our decor or furniture.
