Nope to painted brick exteriors.
I can handle an interior textured brick accent wall that's been painted to blend with surrounding colors.

The house across the street from us when I was growing up was painted white brick.  I loved it.  I would never do it though, because of the upkeep.  I would want brick as a maintenance free exterior.

I built brick because I love it, personally I would never think of painting it.

I love painted brick, what I'm not a fan of is every house looking the same.

@faeriemoon, as you can see, I hearted all of your posts. LOL!

I AM a fan of painted brick, and am also a fan of standing out - sometimes even in what some might call a bad way. Smiley LOL

Anything but cookie-cutter! JMHO.
