OMG, I didn't realize how badly my exterior had been neglected! My shutters were mismatched for years, the trim around my garage door was rotting, there was broken garage door panes of glass, the exterior lighting was outdated, and the garage doors needed freshened up. Never underestimate the power of paint. :) See how I painted my shutters and garage doors!

I personally would not paint the brick, it's so clean and fresh as it is!
I agree!
I agree. I love natural brick plus it is maintenance free
I love it!! One tip for the glass inserts...because our boys play basketball outside...we bought strong plexiglass inserts to avoid breaking glass. Your uplift is gorgeous!!
Great idea!! I'm the one who broke the glass, actually. HA! But I like this idea of plexiglass!!!

Great job Serena. As for brick, I'll always take natural over painting anything. It's a beautiful brick.
Paint the brick!!! I’ve seen sooo many homes with painted brick. So modern
I think painted or not is up to each individual. I have heard so many people say they think brick should be left alone. I don't like it when someone says they want to paint wood furniture, or brick for that matter and people freak out. Its your stuff. Do what you want with it! I think grey paint would go great over that brick and go nicely with your black shutters. Your home is lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Ohhhh Serena, to crean the house front is really such a task. Looks great Serena, you nail it again!
I love painted brick houses! We need to paint our garage door too. Gave me confidence to do it instead of buying a new one.
Nicely done.
However, I'm not a fan of garage doors in white.
The front door should be promiant. Garage doors look best when they "disappear". Usually by matching to the brick color.
I'm a professional painter. Videos like this will keep me working for years.
Brilliant
Love how everything turn out and painting the brick is a go for me 👏👏👏
YAY, glad you see my point of view! Now to convince my family....
Never afraid to try anything!! Respect for that. Curb appeal is much nicer now. Well done Serena. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Your home looks terrific. Another inspiring project. I love painted brick!
You did good. Looks fresh and clean. Don’t paint the brick. The brick is nice and in good shape. I would change the siding as you mentioned. Great job!
That’s beautiful. I think painted brick on homes is really pretty. Voting yes for painting the brick
Definitely paint the brick..I painted my brick and love it..others in the neighborhood followed..
Definitely paint the brick👍🏾. My fireplace had the same color brick, we painted them white....looks modern and clean. Nice job on the exterior.
This turned out amazing! The garage doors look so much brighter. I had to google painted brick houses, because I couldn’t picture it, and they look so cute! I definitely vote for painting it!
Yessss! A few holes in my neighborhood have been painted and I think it looks amazing!
Beautiful. I would just paint the siding and update the front door. I love the brick. Great work. Looks beautiful.
Definitely paint the brick. I would have never thought of it until I started seeing modern brick homes. Now I'm trying to convince my Mom to paint her brick house.
It didn't take much to really freshen up the look of your house. It really looks lovely.
Thank you!! It's amazing what paint can achieve! I feel happy when I drive home and see how much cleaner it looks now! :) Thank you, Andrea!
👍🏽 Awesome job! I’ve seen a tuber, Young Lady Business, that lime wash 70ish brick home and it was lovely! So I 👍🏽’s up the ideal!
The framing around the garage windows would have looked nice as black. The after looks stunning. I never saw a screen door like that for the garage.
Who installed it?
The finished product looks great! You're a rockstar.👍🏿
Painted brick looks amazing!
Nice job! Painting or lime washing the brick will bring it to a whole new level.
Love it! YES! Paint the brick! It'll really finish it off! 😁❤
I absolutely think you should paint the brick. It was the first thing I thought of when you changed the lights. Something in the grey or white family.
OMG, Serena this project really speaks to me. First, because I pulled the shudders off the front of my house as well. However, they were so thin and flimsy I didn't even thing they were worth saving. I actually just throw them away! Secondly, I have been having the same garage color debate. I see some of the new house trim colors today and think I would like to paint our garage doors black as well, but I just can't decide. I haven't done any color refresh on them yet because I think we will actually need to replace them soon, so that is a decision. Lastly, my husband and I have been round and round about the idea of painting our brick home. I want to paint the bricks and he doesn't. We'll see who wins! 😃
I have spent a lot of time updating our landscaping in the 4 years we have owned this house, included building a large cedar framed water feature and trellis, which I absolutely love! But I think it's time to make some color decision! Thanks for the exterior refresh video! I needed the inspiration to get back on my exterior project list!
Also my daughters general don't care about my projects either! 😂
👏🏾 That’s a fantastic makeover Serena! Definitely adds more appeal! 😁
Yes, yes, yes, paint the brick!!! Paint the siding too if you are able to. Not sure if that can be done but if it can you totally should!!!
Your house look nice after you finish and I really did love that garage door how you pulled it up and let that scream down that was different I have never seen that before just saying
Wow! What an improvement. Thumbs up on painting the brick.
That is a definite improvement. Nice job.
I love painting! It's the prep I can't stand. I have a two story house to paint, siding and trim, and I'm not looking forward to all the preparation. You made this look so EASY, but I know that bondo alone takes forever to muck around with, then forever to cure, then you have to sand it. Now imagine that all over in tiny spots on every side of the house, gah. I'm dreading it. Thanks for the inspo, though! Fresh paint makes the world of difference.
So I saw your vlog late nite, when it came out but was watching on my TV. But meant to say! Paint it. I live in a home similar age to yours. And they are a bit dated. So some homes in my N-hood have painted them and OH MY GOSH!!, they look incredible and so updated and fresh! I hope to do it to mine. Well someday in a later time. Can’t wait to see how it goes. This shutter transformation looks incredible. Looks so good Serena. 👌🏼😍🙌🏼
Definitely paint or lime wash the brick.
Agreed
Yes agreed :)
Agree, that will completely update your home
I'm about to pay about £3500 ($2500?) to have all the paint removed from the brick of my new house. It was put on many years ago and traps moisture in the brick causing damp inside. Not sure if paint does this, but think carefully.
sorry, ALL paint? this is masonry paint and it also looks awful!
Beautiful! I wouldn't do a solid color paint for the bricks. Maybe a lime or white wash but a very light application. Your bricks don't look like a deep red so a heavy application would make every thing look white. But a touch of white throughout the bricks would make the sidings color flow seamlessly with the brick.
yes, paint the brick!!! great job, keep on diy'ing ?!? love your content
paint the bricks, love all your projects
Definitely paint the brick. I put it off for years and it made such a difference. My neighborhood has older homes like yours and everyone is doing that and it just looks so fresh and not so dated. You won't regret it!
***In the video I accidentally referred to the paint sprayer as the 3000 model. This is actually the 4000 model! Sorry for that, my friends. :) For more info about the Wagner Flexio 4000 HLVP Paint Sprayer, visit: bit.ly/2UiqOBQ
Looks beautiful! The new lights brighten things up...
Nice! The curb appeal increased dramatically. It is amazing what some paint and light fixtures will do to improve the look of a home. I look forward to the other projects. It is so motivating.
This FRESH updated look makes us 😀. Automatic outdoor lights are great idea! Watching you DIY is empowering. Loved that you worked diligently & NO rain! (I love ladder men who help 🤗)
Fresh paint brings such joy, right!?! - I even painted/touched up the hardware on my garage door and it made a world of a difference! Your project looks fabulous. As for your brick - I would leave it. In my opinion, I love the brick - and I can't stand it when people paint over nice brick (It's the equivalent of putting shag carpet over real hardwood floors in to me...why cover up good quality?)
Yes a lime wash on the brick would look amazing.
There is a RUclips channel called Young Lady Business and she just painted her 1950's red brick ranch and the paint job was a major improvement for the house. She also did some work on the interior because it was seriously outdated. She demolished her kitchen and it is incredible. She has a fresh style with a love for neutral colors. She is one of the sweetest I've seen on RUclips. You and your subscribers may enjoy her channel as well for inspiration.
Thumbs up to pontes shutters! And cheers to your sole panels ☀️☀️☀️
I LOVE painted brick!!!
Great job! You’re making me really want a sprayer!!
Fab job, Serena! Well done! I love it too.
I added shutters to my small house before selling. I thrifted them, and repainted. They changed a dull box into a cottage in one afternoon.
Nice job as always. I am glad you take us through cleaning of the surfaces too. I think you should do what makes you happy - I personally like the “whitewashed” look of painted brick. But it seems like a lot of work, and your house looks great.
Too much upkeep when you paint bricks.
I would paint the brick a dark blue Grey-ish!!!
No don't paint brick awesome job painting garage and shutters. I wanted to do ours and you are truly inspiring me to do it.
You can do it!!
I love this. My home has similar color brick with white siding. I've been thinking about what color I want for the shutters. These are gorgeous 😍
Painted brick is nice I just saw a diy done with this white paint. Great job on this project as well
Your front facade looks terrific! Very buttoned up. After googling painted and lime washed brick homes, I’m favoring the lime wash without knowing the difference in cost. Another thing to consider when deciding between keeping the bricks original or having them painted is whether or not you plan to add any structures with masonry to your future landscape project (I.e. decks, raised beds, etc). I’m sure whatever you decide will turn out splendid 🤗
Turned out great.looks new and fresh.
I’ve seen some painted brick and it is really nice. I think the key is coordinating the look.
It looks great!!! I would love to see what you choose to do with the brick :) painting it would look amazing :)
Your videos always make me want to get off my tush and get it done myself. I need to be more confident and not afraid to fix or paint things in my house. Thanks again for some more inspiration:)
Shocking about the mixed matched shutters..Wow really? Yes paint the brick and definitely new foundation plantings.
I think your project turned out wonderfully. I like natural brick and I like painted brick. It would depend on what your siding on the upper level will look like and what color, if any, it would be. For now I would just wait and enjoy the freshly painted shutters and garage doirs.
It all looks so beautiful.
Your home is lovely. I did notice the difference (at the 9:01 timestamp) between the brick that had been covered over by shutters and the brick exposed to the elements. Before you paint, consider power washing your masonry (you should anyway) and maybe the driveway to restore their freshness. Some people even broom a very thin slurry of Portland cement and water onto the driveway after cleaning it. Many people post videos how to do this to avoid problems and get beautiful results. Best wishes!
There's a light grey painted brick house on my street and it looks fabulous! You should do it 😃
I've seen brick painted white and it looks gorgeous, so I would say give it a go. You did a brilliant job, well done.
I love smeared bricks, watered down paint goes on and some is wiped off so it looks weathered.
I want to paint my brick home as well.
Same! A few neighbors did it and they stand out so nicely. Looks updated!
I would recommend a white mortar in between your bricks almost like a German smear look to brighten up your brick we did this to our 70s tan brick home and it looks made the house look new and gave it a white look without the damage paint can do to brick. All we did was purchase a white tile mortar and painted it on to the mortar or grout lines of the brick. If any got on the brick we simply rub it in giving the brick a lime wash effect.
My vote paint the brick 👍 looks great so far!!
Great work on the makeover, but I love your front door too!
Looks very fresh & clean!! 👍🏾
I think the brick on your house would look beautiful with a white ‘German Smear’ with the siding painted to match in white. (Black trim).
Yessssss
Turned out fabulous. Great job
I love how this turned out! Great job!!!
Looks great Serena!! 👏👏
Really good job! Looks great. Love that you got the nod from your boys. I would love to see the brick painted the same color as the rest of your house.
So beautiful- clean lines ! You make me feel like I could actually try and tackle something on my house! Love how calm you are ❤️
Looks great!! Thanks for all guidance! I love painted brick, go for it :)!
Hey Serena! The updates to the outside of the house are amazing! I wouldn't paint the Bricks, I'd leave it as is. Now if it was a brick fireplace or brick wall on the inside of the house, I wouldn't have a problem with painting those. Stay safe, and tfs. Much love, Dorothy
Thanks for sharing your awesome work. I don't think you need to paint the bricks but I'm sure whatever you decide, it's going to look great.
Your house looks so good after all your hard work. I’m not a fan of painted brick, maybe because where I live in the south it seems the painted brick I’ve seen always seems to be peeling. But, not my house ,so you do you. I’m sure whatever you do it will end up looking great.
Oh! That is the paint sprayer I’ve had in my homedepot shopping cart online for a month now. Glad I watched this video!
I have that same sprayer it works pretty good. It did make my hand and arm hurts after a while // I personally like painted brick
Looks great! Once you paint brick, you will have to paint again but it does look great.
I don’t have a house, I don’t have outward-facing windows (our apartment faces the inner courtyard of the condominium), and I don’t have shutters either. :) Still, I loved watching this video because you’re so enthusiastic and funny, and your paint job is always beautiful. :)
It looks beautiful! Maybe trim the bushes a bit. You could add some flower pots on either side of the doors. Add a wreath or something to the front of the doors. I would not paint the brick. It’s beautiful!
Your home looks so good now. I put up the same lights! Paint the bricks is my suggestion. You did a great job! And I’m subscribing to your channel. Thanks for sharing your project with us.
Yes, the paint would be beautiful.
i used to have one of these and im a wagner fan i have found the airless is better in finish and saves paint way less overspary
I have seen some of my neighbors paint the brick and it turned out beautifully. Try it.
Our house is similar, I plan to lime wash the brick. Great job as usual! I need to paint my shutters and try that bondo at my mom's house. Thanks for the video!
Thumbs up for painting brick.
That's what I'm thinking, Laurie. I think it would look really nice!
You made it on my birthday and I went to a hotel and Waterpark and my brothers house thank you I love you
Looks great. Definitely paint your brick.
Looks great and I like painted brick!
beautiful job! if it was a different style brick Id say yes to painting, but that brick is very nice and the color is perfect therefore i wouldn't paint especially now with he dark shutters. Very nice! that brick style and color is actually timeless.
You did a lovely job. You're projects inspire me so much. Thank you ♡
Looks real nice.
Looks amazing!! 👏👏👏
I was rooting for dark garage doors. They look so good but can def be too much if you like softer airy looks.
