Last spring, we searched for a short-term lease on an apartment in Manhattan. We wanted to get our bearings and see if we actually liked living in NYC before committing to a longer lease.
One thing I really wanted in our apartment was exposed brick. A quick peek at my Pinterest account and you’ll see how much I love exposed brick walls and brick fireplaces. Although we saw a few apartments with exposed red brick and one with a beautiful fireplace, none of them were right for us. And the same thing happened when we searched for our Brooklyn apartment.
While I’m still holding out for a future apartment with real exposed brick, I was happy to discover Norwegian photographer Tom Haga’s ‘Attic Wall’ wallpaper collection. The collection features a few different brick wallpapers, and I’d love to use one on a wall in our apartment.
Do you have exposed brick in your home? Would you use brick wallpaper?
