They are such pretty bricks, especially Wake Manor. I'm curious why you are painting them. I would get the cheaper one.

We're going for the white painted brick look. Something like this:

How silly is that just do siding why on earth spend money on brick you are painting or at least get white bricks.

ok so just to be clear since apparently I seem SILLY, the bricks are already paid for per my elevation I chose with the builder (semi-custom home). SO we are in the process of choosing which brick to use for the color scheme I already chose (white painted with a mix of board and batten). TLDR; NO DIFFERENCE IN PRICE.

The first is more formal because it’s more regular, the second is a wee bit more casual or rustic. I think it’s a tough call. Both will look good in this application.

I like the second one... more texture

Hi! Would love to know which brick you went with because I have also been asked to pick between Wake Manor and Monticello for white painted brick. Thanks!!

Would have just chosen white brick, myself -- but I, too, am curious how your project turned out.

@Heather Ross what did you end up with?

We did Monticello and even though I like that it’s smooth I think a textured brick would have looked better because our front facade is both siding and brick!

Thank you @Heather Ross - you think the textured brick would have made the brick more distinct? Im between these two: any help would be appreciated!

Your house looks beautiful! What color did you use?

We got Franklin! Yes, I think it would have been nice to have the brick be distinct. If your entire front facade is brick I would go with the smooth look. If you have multiple materials I think the texture would be nice. Just my .02!

@Heather Ross thank you so much!!!!!

@Heather Ross do you have any close up pictures youd be willing to share? what color did you paint it?

We went with SW Alabaster and love it! However, it does look a little different on siding vs brick. Overall it’s a great warm white!

@Heather Ross Amazing!!!!! You did amazing with your selections. Thank you so much for sharing!!
