Photoshop help?
 

I wanted to see what my red brick would look like in a white color. I have seen some amazing photoshop jobs in the past. TIA.

No help with P/S...I have the same sink faucet.
Nice layout, but that clock...................
.
Yes, I'm bored. :)

I know. but it is great for the daughter when she was learning how to tell time. My wife was not happy at my snarky attempt to turn it white with MSpaint.

white wash - don't paint over it completely ...

no PS help here either, sorry!

LOL on MSpaint.

With all due respect Herr Oberst, I think I prefer Crusty's fine workmanship. It's kind of got that urban funk look about it.

Dang You've got an enormous clock

Thank You!! she likes it.
but now she is self conscious about the clock. Lol! It looks a lot better than the frosting wall.

Funny chit.

Haha - someone PS the clock out!!!

Wow, great photoshop! That wall looks way better in white!

If you're open to suggestions, I think crystal gray brick would look good with the wood floor. I think it comes as a Stain and not a paint.

Much better...I agree. Maybe even a bit less white.
Again, nice layout.

herr_oberst does good work...took a black/white photo of me that I posted here and added color in various stages...I still have it.

It looks really great in white & without the clock!
Good job with PS, sc_rufctr.

Before I bought my house the previous owner painted the brick fireplace white. I don't like it, nope, don't like it a bit. But alas, too much elbow grease to get rid of that paint.

If you are trying for something more contemporary, tile it or something that gets rid of the brick texture not just the color.

Why? Rock out with your clock out I say.

Although, with the white brick, you might consider a big black clock instead.
You know, for contrast. :D

Lol!

I would consider lightening the red brick color - wire-brush?

Fads change - red will undoubtedly be back and as mentioned it is a pita to get it cleaned up.

Personally, I don't worry about such details. Is it functional? Good to go! One has to slow the spouse on decorative activities that waste a mans time and money.

Or you panel over it with wood (or some other faux paneling that looks like tile or marble) then if you want to go back to brick later just pull the wood off.

Looks fine, no really :)

I like the clock, but i think it needs to be a little bigger

A moderate contrast vs the red brick.

And a big clock.

Big hands, big clock.

Tell your better half I like the clock

... here is alternative-

Where is Darisc when we need him?

Lol, she is considering the gray look now.

I remember a thread last year about his passing.

After seeing the gray...I like it better than the lighter. Less contrast with the room.

Icing wall and monstro clock had me in tears last night.

Bravo!

Me too! I am in Florida on travel so Mrs crusty will have to wait to to see that!

They have a brick stain that looks a lot better than painting to me. You just change the color of the brick but it still looks like real brick instead of painted bricks.

I assume all of these are permanent solutions? Id be hesitant to do anything that wasnt reversible. I have a lot of brick inside and have considered painting but am really hesitant to do something permanent.

I'm thinking about changing the color of my exterior brick accent to compliment the changing exterior color of my house, so I Googled brick stain and it looks like that's the way to go for me. Won't peel over time.

so much funnier if you get an Asian woman to say that.

I would tile over the brick.....

Well, now we have white bricks. She made the call and got 3 quarts of "Annie Sloan chalk pure white" paint. I think it looks good, it certainly makes the room look bigger. I guess I am getting a new clock as well.

Mrs crusty verifying the clock is indeed 6 inches, as I told her it was.
