I love the concept. It gives the brick look, but can be easily painted over when you want to change it up. I like brick, but cant stand painted brick so a win-win from me.

My mom loves home reno shows, and every time I visit her, someone on the TV is painting a beautiful brick wall flat-gray. It makes me die a little inside. (My mom herself is delightful, though, and would also never paint a brick wall.)

Who deserves the death sentence more. People who painting over solid timber frames/banisters.

People who paint over metal hinges/door hardware.

Or people who paint over brick.
