Realistic Faux Brick Wall

"Of all my DIY projects, this realistic faux brick wall has been the one of which I’m most proud. The biggest investment in this project was not supplies but time. Here’s the scoop on how I transformed a plain white wall into a beautiful brick one. My son bought his first condo – a small third floor abode in a beautiful historic home built in the late 1800s. It was the perfect palate to showcase an interior brick wall, so with about $80 in supplies and a willing mom, he now has a radical piece of character in his small living space."
