Thanks Greg. I don't know where they went, if anywhere, but they seem to be where they're supposed to be now. (Still not in order, but there. )

Sorry guys, I'm still ditzy. :oops: I was looking at my personal album to see what pics I had uploaded, and I noticed that my recent pics of the joint compound "bricks" weren't in the order I wanted, so, seeing an option to MOVE, I thought I could place them in order. Instead, it told me t...

Keep us updated. I hope the seams continue to be narrow AND even

Trudi this is so cool! I've always loved the whole downtown-loft-exposed brick look, that my fiance and I contemplated buying sheets of faux brick wall covering for our old apartment, I can't believe you did this with joint compound! Thanks! I'm anxious to try again, with what I learned this time. ...

I know, it's a bummer, huh? I just didn't want you to get your hopes up and then get hit with the wide ones. Maybe you'll get more of the thin ones though. Hey, that's a new greeting for mobile home owners: "May all your seams be thin ones."

So true about those rascals not being the same. I was delighted ....at first, at how tiny the seams were, but others were not only wider, but sometimes uneven as well. Not to discourage you; just be forewarned.

Aaron, yes I did ask, and I thank you for your input. You guys have given me several options and things to think about. :) Hey Trudi, Great job! Thanks, Yanita. I personally love accenting walls with joint compound. Have several of them in my home. Your first pic, shows a little bit of a possible cl...

Hi Greg, If this were in a full time kitchen, as a back splash, I would put something on it to seal and protect it. The area I've already done is the bathtub wall in a small bath, and the place I'm thinking of doing it, is in the kitchen of a "vacation" home, so it won't have as much to st...

Thanks Margie. You asked, "how well does it hold up under stress" well, I was truly stressed and it held up. :lol: Just kidding. Since it's a vacation home, it doesn't get the work out that my regular kitchen gets, so maybe that will help some. That < is something to consider. You could do...

Nothing like "showing" those doubting friends, huh? Sounds like you're all set to do a good job. We want to see pics, you know

It goes on 1/4 inch thick, though I'm sure it's more or less in some places. It's a good thing I like the old worn look, for it did crack. It only enhanced the bricks. When I faux paint bricks, I paint cracks on; I didn't have to with this ;-) The mh has been there about 15 years, so hopefully it ha...

Beautiful!!! That is lemonade and iced tea ready. I could be "forced" to wile away a few hours out there.

Now where to put it?

Another shot. Ignore dark blob on right wall. Didn't like color, and wiped it off.

Since we're always thinking about different wall treatments, I wanted to share one I've recently been trying to learn. It's creating bricks out of joint compound. I tried it in a small bath, behind the tub, and learned (I hope) from my mistakes. If you all don't mind looking at the stages the "...
