White-Washed Brick & New Roof!

9 years ago
What a difference some paint and a new roof can make!

Be sure to follow this home's tranformation on our Facebook "Flippy House" page! 8,200 sqr ft on the water! White-washed the brick myself and new shingle color!

    Wow! You did the whitewashing yourself? Hats off to you. A couple of years ago we re-roofed and painted the exterior of our house. My husband wanted to DIY one of them. Being 62 years old, I picked the painting. Hired a roofer and after the roof was done, I told my husband, "I lied!" Hired a painting contractor.

    By the way, your home is beautiful. Will definitely follow along.

    Yes, I did each brick all by myself. If you follow the Flippy House page you'll see I'm still working on the MONGO wall in the back and saving the tall chimney for the Spring! Thank you!

    WOW! Nice job. Where can I find your facebook page? I've been wanting to paint the brick on our house but wasn't sure. Now I know it will look great.

    Go to Facebook and type in "Flippy House". You'll see the page..it's got yellow construction cones as the cover photo. Recently I posted a video on how I did all of the white-washing.

    Kelly, I LOVE this transformation. Can you share with me what paint and materials you used for this. If you check out my page, you'll see my current design dilemma. People (family and friends) have been encouraging me to keep the orange brick exterior on my home but I really hate it and want a cream or grey color like yours. Please help me! Thanks

    Jalisa_mcc: You commented on my page and asked about my brick technique. If you go to Facebook and look up my "Flippy House" page, in the videos I have a very good tutorial of how I did my brick and exactly what paint I used and brushes and color.
    Orange brick may be hard to work with. It's not the most appealing brick color to me but it could be beautiful if just changed in a couple ways. Here are a couple pics I found and ideas you could do. One is doing sort of a white smear over some of the brivks and changing maybe just your front door color to the lighter egg blue and the other 2 I like using ur existing orange and highlighting with more black.
