Let's Talk About The Brick Color....

Hello again and welcome back!

These past few days have been a whirlwind of design choices.

It has been fun, confusing and time consuming.

 One thing I knew is that I did not want any plain solid colored brick.

So when I saw the "Aspen" with a brown tinted base and smeared grouted accents...

I fell in love.

I love the antique style of this brick.

Somewhat like Chip and Jo's German Smear....

But only one problem... if you could call it that.

I cannot find an example of it online.

I looked thru my builder's inventory and no one else has used it.

I looked online... and really just a close up.

No homes listed it as a brick color.

 My guess is that it is similar to this, but maybe darker base.

 Mine will have grey grout and white trim.... but close?

Honestly, I will be surprised and excited to see it when they start.

Here is my rendering of the house....

And here is one built... so it will look like this one flipped....

This is one from the website of the brick.

But ours will have grey mortar.

I think ours will look darker than this...

But who knows?

It will be interesting to compare in a few weeks when they start.
