How To: Mortar Wash (German Smear) a Brick Fireplace (Updated May 2016) — The Chatham Collective
* *Update - May 2016 Some of you may have been watching Fixer Upper lately - you'll notice that sweet ol' Joanna Gaines has used this EXACT method in some of the houses that they've been renovating down in Waco. She calls it "German Smear" and has been using it to change the looks of many homes this season. You're welcome Jojo! One of the first things I knew I wanted to do when we purchased our home was to white-wash the brick. I wasn't sure what method I wanted to do specifically but ...
One of our favorites - Romabio Classico Limewash in Avorio White. Just enough brick is showing so the home looks like it's been in the family for generations. Such a beautiful entry! Product now available in select @homedepot stores, and on their website. . . #limewash #romabio #whitewash #ClassicoLimewash #RomabioPaints #brickhouse #curbappeal #AvorioWhite
