Hipsters are pretending to hate painted brick houses

Date: June 19th, 2025 9:09 PM Author: Galvanic multi-billionaire My feeds now are somehow filled with pictures of brick houses painted white, and hipsters shouting "why would anyone do this it looked so much better before!"
But I totally understand why people would do this because 95% of red brick houses look like shit, and they look okay when painted white. |

Date: June 19th, 2025 9:25 PM Author: azure heaven 10 Downing St is a brick house painted black. It was originally yellow brick, but turned black from centuries of smog and soot. When they cleaned it one day, they were surprised to learn this. Then they thought it looked too weird in its original color and repainted it black because it's what people were used to.

Date: June 19th, 2025 9:36 PM Author: Hairraiser indecent lodge love of her life CR. I've always thought this, regardless of design trends. Don't paint brick, don't paint wood (you can stain it so the wood still shows through), don't paint stone. Why would you do this? And then you have to repaint and maintain it, too.

Date: June 19th, 2025 9:43 PM Author: burgundy flirting senate wrinkle I have a lot of painted brick houses around me. Some are white. But there are also blue and pink. I don't think they have to spend money every year (or ever) to keep the paint being covered with mold. I don't think this is a thing. It's a special kind of paint they use, so this is not a concern. I haven't heard any of my neighbors mention it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740681&forum_id=2#49033692) |

Date: June 19th, 2025 9:46 PM Author: histrionic saffron casino boltzmann the entire fucking point of brick is that it is very durable and low maintenance, you are literally making it worse and ensuring that it will require maintenance, paint is not eternal (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740681&forum_id=2#49033697) |

also the painted look gets weathered and damaged over the years and looks much worse than bare brick
