When we bought our house, the porch was painted red. So I painted over it to make it grey. Well, every year it chips and every year I give it a new coat of paint. I was sick of that process and want something that’ll be beautiful and classic for my old house. So we’re laying brick over the cement! Here’s a tutorial on installing brick pavers on a porch if you want to try too!

Here’s some pictures of my peeling paint on my front porch.
It is a horrible first impression and every time I walk to my front porch I vow to change it.
Well, today is the day! I’m using brick veneers (also known as thin bricks) from Old Mill Brick. I’m going with the color Vintage Oak because I like that they’re a warm color without being too red. I like that the bricks look older which works nicely for my house since it was built in 1905.

I love old homes and after traveling to Charleston and seeing their beautiful historic homes with brick porches, I figured it’d be a great solution to my paint issue.
