Faux Brick Path
Instructions for painting a faux brick sidewalk.

photography: Jeremy Samuelson


1. Claudia Darr used 1 gallon of Benjamin Moore's MoorGard Low Lustre Latex House Paint (#103-4B) in the following color formula (the paint dealer will know what this means): n OY 1x8, RX 5x, BK 1x22, MA 3x, WH 1x16, TG 18

2. Clean the area you plan to paint, and let it dry thoroughly.

3. Beginning in a corner, use a 4-inch roller to paint "bricks." Make each one about 7 inches long, leaving about 3/4 inch between each brick. Stagger adjoining rows so bricks form a wall pattern.
