I Painted My Brick Fireplace: 5 Years Later - A Real Interview with Brick Anew
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2017
- Five years ago I bought a brick fireplace painting kit called Brick Anew to paint my brick fireplace in my family room. Now that 5 years have passed, I wanted to interview the owner of this brick painting kit to ask him some questions about painting fireplaces, replacing fireplace doors, and how we should approach our fireplace makeovers from a DIY standpoint. See what Sam Wilhoit, owner of Brick Anew, had to say during our conversation! :)

@@brianmcdufford1 Same question here. Where is the link for the coupon code?
waiting for coupon code please
I watched the video and will be ordering after the Holidays. Is there a $25 coupon?
I liked the interview. You both covered many of the questions I had... including how the product holds up after a few years... Giving me the tools I need to be brave enough to do it! Thank you
Sounds like a great product. Now to convince my husband that we need to update this 1970’s red brick
Good to know that your Brick Anew has held up for 5 years
I am glad that you like your fireplace and it is holding up. I loved the old one. Those are used brick with a lot of character, and very difficult to lay especially so beautifully, but if you like it better, it is your house. Your ugly old brick fireplace was absolutely beautiful.
I'm glad to see so many vlogs! The fireplace looks great and now I want to paint mine!!
WOO HOO! Yeah, I'm loving posting daily! It's tough as nails, but it has kept me so focused. And it's been a lot of fun, trying new things I hadn't considered before! Hope you have been finding them helpful!!
I bought my current (70's) home 8 yrs ago because of the brick fireplace and hearth! My fireplace is 7 1/2 feet wide, not nearly as large as yours, and the bricks on the floor are laid out in a half circle. I've not seen another like it. I love the rest of my home but this fireplace is just incredible to me. I'm so afraid to paint it and possibly ruin it! But, I'm tempted after watching your makeover! It turned out so beautiful!
So glad I found this. I have a yellow brick fireplace. Can't wait to make it modern
I wish I had known about this vendor 4 years ago when my ex and I were rehabbing a house. It was one of those late 80's contemporary monstrosities with the rough-hewn cedar floating mantle. Ugh! Never could figure out how to fix that without completely removing, except to maybe build a box around it. I'll keep this company on file for future reference!
I had this problem with too much brick. Looked a lot like this one. I framed and sheetrocked only leaving a normal sized area for a fireplace. Left the rest of the brick as is and it looks great.
I don’t even have a fireplace in my house and I STILL watched this video to the end. This shows how much I enjoy your channel. 😁
I need this asap! I have an old redbrick fireplace much like yours was...original to our 1970s home... though not as big. it is the focal point of family room so it needs a serious makeover.
Tiffany Washko / Look into the "German Smear" technique! It's so pretty, in my opinion. There are videos on RUclips. If I had red brick, I would definitely be doing the German Smear.
I just love old red brick fireplaces my.parents painted one of theirs white too n I just never cared for it . I enjoy the natural look of the brick's I just think it's gorgeous n natural looking. Tyfs
thanks for making this video. he looks likes a nice genuine guy.
Awesome job as always.
Looks seriously wonderful !
I'm looking at my brick fireplace, thinking OMG it's time to upgrade! It's an extension of the brick outside, and the colors make the already-small room look smaller, especially since it's an angled fireplace that goes all the way to my built-in oven! I'm going to add this to my project list since that's the focal point in my family room!
Did you paint your brick inside? My exterior brick was used for a whole interior wall, which includes a fireplace. (All red brick)
Evelyn Munoz we have the same thing! The entire wall at the end of our living room/dining room is all brick. The fireplace is actually a corner one that is part of our small dining room. The hearth takes up so much room.
Thanks for this video! My sister just painted our brick fireplace with white paint and I can't stand it. I will be checking out this company.
This is absolutely gorg
Looks amazing!! Sending this to my girlfriend who has an large interior brick wall/fireplace that could use the same awesome facelift! ❤️
Great information Serena and Sam. Very affordable as well.
Love your updates!
I would like the fireplace cover like the one on the left side in the thumbnail (brass). Can anyone tell me where I can find one?
Your calling in sick to paint your fireplace is very telling; to where you and your channel are today.
You were already on your way and look at the connections it gave you.
Having the courage to do something different; on your own terms speak volumes to the unknown blessings that are waiting for us.
Thanks for the great video! Really eased my fears of painting my fireplace. Is the coupon code still available?
OMG! I was looking for a fireplace glass door, but I found your video! I love your video so much! I am going to order it now with $25 off coupon! Thank you!
Awesome!! Let me know how you like it!!
I really enjoyed listening to this interview Serena! I LOVE your transformation and I think it's a great, simple and affordable way to update a fireplace.
I. Really Like All Your Videos. I Really Like To Know More About That Steamed Cleaner That You Used In One Of Your Video's The Oven Blew Me Away When You Got Done. You Gave Me Some Awesome Ideas How I Can Clean My House With It Thank You For Sharing May GOD Bless Y'all
Thank you! You can find the steam machine here (affiliate link): amzn.to/2pHdML0 You will love it!!
Thrift Diving. Thank You For The Info
can you give me the link to where you painted you're mantel?
Please give me the link for the previous video in which you spoke about making money through blogging. Thank you in advance.
Does this kit work for 70s stone fireplaces?
Will the clear matte finish ever yellow over time?
Goddamn it serena
Can this Brick-Anew product be used on stone, too? I have a dark brown stone fireplace I hate to paint, because I still want a "stone-looking" fireplace, but lighter colored.
I'm happy I checked this show out!! I
learned things I needed to know.
Is the discount still available?
Can this product be used to paint over a painted fireplace?
What paint would you recommend for kitchen drawers..
I would recommend Beyond Paint for that! You can look them up on Amazon here (affiliate link): amzn.to/2xDe8ZE. I've been using it for many projects and love it.
Thrift Diving I saw a previous video of yours where you used this paint and immediately ordered (but from another vendor) and plan to use it on a lingerie chest. I am waiting for the weather to get cooler so that I can do this in the garage. Thanks again for the tip. I have read many reviews on this product and they have all been great. Yours was the first video actually showing me the finished product.
I am so doing this..... hope the link still works 😄
If I had red brick I would do the German smear! I find that so gorgeous! Look it up on RUclips if you haven't seen it.
I’m going to buy paint myself now to do this. What would u say the gloss is? What should I get to replace that step?
Hi Beth! This is a very flat paint so there isn't any gloss. If anything, perhaps a little satin, but I would say closer to flat. Also, what repair needs to be made on the step?
How do you get the paint off? I like the ugly disgusting brick but mines been painted.
Dammit serena
Can I still use this kit if the fireplace has been painted
You sure can! You would just have to make sure that paint isn't chipping off or anything.
Where is your video that actually shows you doing your fireplace?
OMG my husband wants me to leave the brick alone!
HAHAHA, of COURSE he does! That's just how men are! They also love brown paneling, too! GASP! lol
same! haha
Pay the mortgage, then you can paint it anywhich way. Lol, being cheeky.
Where is the link for the coupons
There are no coupons right now, since this was done some time ago.
wow, she's gorgeous
and the brick is nice too
Aww, thank you! I appreciate that!!
what color did you use?
Hi, Kimberly, I used Twilight Taupe! You can buy it here with my affiliate link. Be sure to use the coupon code to save $25: thriftdiving.com/25OFF
Question: How did the brick anew paint hold up 5 years later? Anyone have a report on how the brick anew system holds up 10 years later? 20?
It has held up great for me! There is only 1 place that chipped, where the kids have thrown down their controllers a lot, but it is minor and still looks great!
2nd lol and looking forward to this video.
LOL, 2nd is good, too! :) Thanks, Sista Scrap! Love that name, by the way!
Thrift Diving Thanks....I really enjoyed this video. I usually like to see you working....lol but this was very helpful. I don't have a brick fireplace but now I want one....lol...so I can use this products. Maybe I will purchase this for my sister and help her re-do hers. I don't mind driving to Marietta to pick this up. I am a new sub and I'm loving everything that you share. Have a great weekend.
I'm showing this video to my husband haha
HAHA, good luck with that one! Men are so "pro-brick"!
why the dislikes..product? him? her? what is it
I wish someone would paint travertine & tell me how it holds up!
My wall/fireplace looked JUST like yours. We added drywall to each side, put travertine over the brick...that was 2005. We need to update but painting the travertine scares me!!
Can't get it off of there now...
Yikes!! You should try it and see how it holds up. Are you going for the faux brick look? If it doesn't work out, you can get a refund from Brick Anew. They're awesome like that!
Didn't see any painting. Boo
1:00
Why oh God WHY is Brick Anew soooo expensive?!?!?!?!? The price is just ridiculous.
It is. That's what I thought before I bought it. But it was easy to use and it was $200 well spent. You could do your own faux finish and make it work!
I once painted a brick fireplace. I used ordinary interior latex paint. It was still looking good when I sold the house 8 years later. This pushing of brands or the concept that you have to buy something specific is ridiculous.
peggyt1243 Isn’t it great that in her demo video she didn’t say this is the only product you should use. Love it that she pointed out with skill it can be free-handed art!
peggyt1243 / I'm disappointed in this 1/2 hour paid infomercial. Who wants to watch that?!!
"Who wants to?" The people who do. -Obviously. Only a dysfunctional person would watch a 30min vid they didn't want to watch. She was clear from the beginning what the vid would be.
peggyt1243 - IKR?! Regular paint watered down or common chalk paint does the same result (unless you're just a really untalented painter ... then hire a professional because you'd need to on a regular wall -Lol!)!
@@AmeliaAcres Amazing the amount of people that fail to read what a video is about, then criticize about the content. Title says, 5 years later & interview with Brick Anew. I was looking to update my fireplace & found many videos on how to do it. I watched her other video using this product & found it to be the most appealing. I bought this kit, which includes everything you need & easy to follow instructions, simple to use. No disappointments in the end result, in fact, everyone who has seen it wants to know more about it. They love it. My sister who tried talking me into whitewashing mine like she did hers is going get a kit to redo her fireplace.
Why not just show the fireplace. Is this clickbate?
Wheat Ergot Gems I don't do click bate. I'm not that type of blogger. Go down to the description and you will find the step by step written and video instructions on how I did it, along with pics. This video was just talking with the owner of the company. Pay attention.
Why are natural brick fireplaces disgusting? I don't get it??
1st
WOOT!! I think you always manage to be the first commenter! LOL. Do you live on RUclips? :) HAHA
Painting a brick house is ALWAYS a BIG MISTAKE! The beauty of bare brick is the many decades of maintenance-free service. Yes, I know it's cool and trendy, but it's a huge dis-service in the long run. The current or future owners will have to scrape and repaint and as the coats of paint accumulate the shorter the life of the paint. Eventually, ALL the paint needs to be sandblasted or removed with paint stripper. And then probably the mortar joints repaired (tuck pointing). So PLEASE just spare the home and future owners of this horrible fad!
Really 30 minutes of talking and 2 clips of fast forward painting? You are not Oprah. Stop interviewing people on boring subjects. We just want some painting tips
Duh--it says an INTERVIEW. Go watch the video of the fireplace painting video that I was referencing when I was pretending to be Oprah. 😂 ruclips.net/video/wh-vxRx5BC8/видео.html
MARK LOOK it says interview. Idiot!
Speak for yourself. There are scores of demonstration videos out there. No need to be snarky when you see this video for free.
It would have been a lot more useful, if we could see the fireplace now. Let me guess the people who sell a product think it's great, ALWAYS.
Well, I can send you a picture, if you'd like. :) Just email: serena@thriftdiving.com. It's a bit messier in my family room now, but I'm sure you won't mind. LOL
too much talking...we need more visuals with actual activity of painting and doing the project...most of the videos today have FAR too much yaking and not enough demonstration.
You should have done more than talk
He q
I’m kpl
WTF
Got anything intelligent to say, or are you just trolling past?
Less FaceTime and more photos would have been better for 29 minutes.
You'd like to see 29 minutes of photos? That's a lot of photos! ;)
Didn’t say 29 photos, I said less FaceTime. After reading several other comments it appears I’m not the only one thinking this is really nothing more than an infomercial.
This is a half hour paid infomercial? No offense, but no thanks. :(
Basically a brick anew commercial ..... really really long commercial ..... sorry I clicked
Wtf is this?!?!
This video is horrible, doesn’t show any painting.
A beautiful wall transformed from loads of character to some old bland painted space ... Shame 👎
So long and boring
You are too loud, talk way too fast and weird. Get to the point!
