I absolutely love it. Of course reclaimed brick is such a beautiful choice and few of us have the opportunity to have access to that. Brick is not as common here. It really was part of the loyalist heritage and therefore escaped great parts of Québec. To have a brick home here meant you were extremely wealthy. Most homes were made of wood. I would love a fireplace such as yours!Donna@anangloinquébechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074337849133414753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857146028824456342.post-43782734653400825572012-04-27T17:33:19.159-04:002012-04-27T17:33:19.159-04:00I missed this party somehow, but here I am, thank ...I missed this party somehow, but here I am, thank you for the invitation.

I am happy to say that I had 18 links the first couple weeks, went to in the 20's and last week 40. Slowly growing. It is so much fun and I love seeing what people share. Mine is "Share Your Cup Thursday". It's pretty broad. What ever helps fill your cup, you know makes you happy. I found you throgh my friend, Gina.

You can actually see my fireplace in the last photo of my most recent post http://gracie-senseandsimplicity.blogspot.ca/2012/04/decorating-with-green.html. Our fireplace isn't the most interesting - just a builder's mantel and surround, but it is a nice place to decorate.Grace @ Sense and Simplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185222544452668586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857146028824456342.post-91438474979856011852012-04-23T18:51:11.668-04:002012-04-23T18:51:11.668-04:00You are too funny!

I love the technique that uses regular brick mortar, mortar color additive (both a home improvement stores) and twice the amount of water that the mortar instructions say to use. I also did the whole outside of my house with this process. It doesn't hide the bricks as much as regualar paint (but I do love painted brick too).Miss Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13400224810952962825noreply@blogger.com
