Brick Backsplash question

4 years ago

Hello, fellow designer here. Hope you dont mind me asking about the brick. Did you buy it like that or did you do the whitewash yourself? If you bought it could you tell me where please? Thanks, Sara

    Hi Sara,

    The backsplash is a brick paver, which is a thinner brick for vertical applications. They did what you call a "mortar wash" on it. A tile installer should know what that is and could do it most likely.

    Glad you like it! Thanks for your inquiry. :-)
