This is a really great look...it looks authentically old...probably is....the technique would however take a real artist to execute...it is not something that you can just find the right product and apply...unless you are qualified to do it yourself it would also be very costly.. Depending on what you are starting with..and if you are determined I would search for an artistic bricklayer that would understand...be qualified and willing to attempt it...

Yes, I saw that episode of Fixer Upper as well and it is very similar...you may be able to find info on the technique or possibly watch the episode on hgtv.com :)

Here's the link to the actual house :)

It looks like an extreme version of German Schmear technique. Here's the way Chip Gaines did it on Fixer Upper (HGTV.) He covers more brick. I think the same trick with more brick exposed would get the look you posted.

Thank you all so very much!! I'm off to google!

Pine Hall makes an authentic tumbled brick called Oyster Pearl that can provide a similar white with brownish-red showing through look.

Hi, amis55,

We actually painted new brick on a project recently because the owner wanted a similar weathered look. New brick was painted and then power washed to give it that "been there forever" feel. It was more expensive because of the processes involved -- first the brick, then painting, then washing.

Good luck with your project!

Best,

Amy

I believe it is the German Mortar Schmear but they have just exposed more of the brick to give it an antique feeling. Using a lightly tinted "aged" mortar that isn't really white would help achieve the older look. I'm not sure you can get this look on just any modern brick. The attempt here is to make it look like the home was originally plastered but that the plaster has weathered and come off to a great extent. It won't look right on just any style of home. If your home is more of an old style European architecture, you can probably achieve a similar result.
