🧱 A slightly different project completed for a very old friend who’s in the middle of a full scale house renovation 🏠
He loves the look of exposed brickwork and asked if I could make the pointing look as old and rough as possible rather than a perfectly neat modern finish.
To achieve that, I mixed sharp sand in with the building sand and cement, then sponged everything back to leave a more rustic, aged appearance 👌
As part of the job, I also moved the opening over and built a new brickwork wrap around the existing wall to create more of a feature within the room.
The blockwork panels are for some sort of wall panelling, but even he hasn’t quite decided exactly what he’s doing with them yet 😂
I always enjoy jobs that are a little bit different and let me get creative rather than doing everything by the book.
What do we think of the rustic finish? 🧱
