Isn’t there a Mary Poppins song … and snap the job’s a game…

Last weekend and the weekend before we made some great progress in the wine cellar painting the bricks.

The wall tween the laundry room door & the ‘arch way’ dark brown took us about 5.5 hours working together. So 11 hours of painting…

To create our bricks- I am using a sponge mop head. It was ‘thin’ enough and longer than a typical sponge. For the smaller edge bricks- we cut a second mop head sponge in half. Then I bought a large lot of foam brushes to help fill in the bricks after stamped. We are filling ours solid – looks better than leaving them ‘spongey’ or a blended color like I tried at first.
