In many of our projects, it has been difficult to see the complexity of the work or it's so mundane to the point that it all looks the same.  Wiring, sanding, priming, etc.--it all looks the same after awhile.   This one is no exception!  But as mentioned in earlier posts, we wanted the dividing wall in the master suite between the media room and the bedroom to look substantial--like a bearing wall that is original to the house.  Our challenge was to create and finish off such a structure.

With that goal in mind we chose brick that's manufactured locally with the same texture, imperfections, and character as the painted exterior brick. 



The product is real 1/2" clay thin brick--it's not brick tile or faux brick:  It's the real thing, just thinner than a traditional brick.



And we started one brick at a time.  Cut after cut, around electrical outlet after electrical outlet...



Still a work in progress, we thought about keeping the brick unpainted for awhile but decided it does look dated; Brady Bunch dated!  So primed and painted it will be!  Media room side...



Bedroom side...
