I hope you change your mind about painting the brick in your bedroom. It’s such an antique looking brick that provides such a lovely contrast to the beautiful wood and wicker that you have in that room. Once you paint it there is no going back and in the end you will have just another white wall. Love your home. It’s been fun watching your style develop over the years.

Please don’t paint the brick! All of your neutral colors are so calming & the brick brings warmth & coziness to the space. Love the way you decorate & take care of your home. Yours is one of my very favorite videos 🥰

I would NOT paint that brick wall. It is beautiful just like it is. Love it in your kitchen, and bathroom, too!!!

No paint on the bricks looks so nice now❤❤❤❤

Sarah, I’m not for painting your brick as it gives such warmth to your room and depth ❤ Just my take on it 😊

I think painting the brick would take away the most charming part of your home.

I agree...leave the brick wall as its so so cozy and cottage-y! 😃

❤ nooo.. Sarah don't paint the brick wall it's soo beautiful as it is. Everything about your bedroom and home is absolute beautiful!! ❤ Don't paint it it.😊

Leave the brick!! It’s my favorite part of your pretty home!!!🏡

The Brick makes your room beautiful, cozy, and comforting. It makes your room special.

Hey, girl. I like the natural brick. It looks awesome.

Sarah....no....don't paint your bricks. It is your signature look on this channel. We love your brick look. So beautiful.

I love the brick as is. It adds a great contrast to your neutral colors in the rest of the room.

I would not paint the brick, I think you will regret it

I love the contrast between the brick and the light walls. Hope you decide to keep it the way it is.

Do not paint brick!

Thank you for letting us have a glimpse of your morning

The Bricks in your home is what I love most ❤

I think the brick is very unique and beautiful on that wall in your bedroom . Personally I love.😊

Hi Sarah. I just love the brick the way it is. It makes your bedroom look very cottage English.

It's your home but the bricks in your bedroom looks so charming. Love everything. Have a wonderful week. Happy early Mother's day. Enjoy your day. ❤😊

Don't you dare touch those beautiful bricks.❤❤❤

I like the exposed brick. It just works. Nice textural contrast. Old world.

In my opinion, the brick is charming the way it is

I absolutely love your decor and way of battling your home. I love your brick wall! I’m sure whatever you decide will turn out beautifully, but I vote for keeping the brick wall as it is. I think it makes the room flow as it stands and somehow makes the planters and baskets in the room pop even more. ❤

I think the brick wall in your bedroom would look beautiful white or even white washed ❤❤❤

oh honey.... I love your brick accent wall just the way it is. ❤

The unpainted brick gives the room a more cottage , lived on look.

I love your bedroom Sarah and I would leave the brick as is. It adds so much character to your room. ❤

Love the brick as is😊

No! No! No! Don’t paint the brick,

I could take a nap in your bedroom!! It’s so beautiful 😂🥰 Thank you for this collaboration Sarah ❣️

I love the brick in your bedroom it’s so pretty, thankfully you caught the water in time! Thanks so much for sharing always enjoy your videos 🫶🏻

The brick in your bedroom makes the room look like a cottage. It’s adds definition and texture. It is so warm and lovely. I think you may regret it if you paint it.

The brick looks lovely as is esp with the wardrobe.

Oh I love your brick the way it is.

I love how you take us along with your daily tasks. I live in Australia and autumn is cold most days. Love the natural tones in your home ❤

I LOVE the Color Variation of the Brick... I Would Not Paint it Whte.

😮 your brick is beautiful ! 😍 no way would I paint it. So many have painted theirs inside and outside 😲 can't undo it .

Hello my sweet friend, hope uv had a great day. We had a wonderful Sunday. Always enjoy your videos, no matter what ur doing. As far as the brick, it'll be pretty whatever you decide to do. Have a lovely week. Luv and blessings to you & the family. ❤❤😊😊✝️✝️🌺🌺

Paint the brick if you are so inclined, it is your home, after all. However, if it were me, I would leave the brick natural. It happens to be the one element in your bedroom I love the most. Just my opinion. ☺️

Hey Sarah! I have always loved the brick in your home. I love the sweet pop of color it gives. But I also think it will look lovely white. Whatever you feel like will fit your style best. Your room and bathroom are so stunning!

Love your blue stripe dress - so fresh and summery. Your house, paint the brick if it will make you happy but it would be very difficult or impossible to reverse if the outcome isn’t as nice as the brick. Happy days🦘🇦🇺

I love the brick! But whatever you do always looks beautiful!

Your cottage is so pretty ! I could listen to your voice for hours , so calming !

Your home is beautiful!! I’d keep the brick just the way it is. Such a peaceful bedroom.

Don't paint it it's beautiful!

I LOVE the brick wall as it is; painting it, in my opinion, will take away from the beauty!

I wouldn’t paint the brick, your home is so beautiful and that adds cosiness to your bedroom.

I love the brick as it is. It is so lovely.

Such a beautiful home and relaxing video! I have watched Kelsey's channel from the beginning and I love it too! Tfs❤

I like your brick wall it looks very nice!!

I like it as is in your bedroom wall

I like your brick wall!!

The brick is beautiful as it is,however, it gives a rustic vibe..so if you want to be consistent to the cottage feel it would be beautiful also ,painted white. It's an easy project but makes a big impact. I painted my brick over my mantelpiece and I love it so much. It really changed the room to feel light and cottage like. But either way it would be nice.😊

I always enjoy your videos and look forward to them every week thank you for them. What a fun idea to have a "bed" for Violet to sleep on in your bedroom. A sweet memory for her to share with her children. One of our cats Lucy loves to sleep on our floor vents winter and Summer! We are gearing up for our annual spring cleaning here in Ohio.

Love your outfit in this video!!! ❤

I must agree with the others that don't think you should paint the brick. I love the natural color of regular or used brick. Its very cottage and cozy. Your home is so beautiful and you are really good at decorating.

This is a very sweet video I really like it so many neat things 😊 be blessed see you next time enjoy your week 😊☘️🦋🐞💚

I love the redness of the brick. I would leave it personally. It gives so much character to your beautiful space.

Love the brick as it is. Just an opinion.😊

Sarah, thank you again for a sweet & lovely video. Instead of completely painting your brick, perhaps just a heavier German schmier? I think the colors of the brick make a lovely frame for your beautiful glass doors. Hope you don’t completely paint the brick. 😊❤😊❤🙏

❤❤❤❤❤

Enjoyed your sweet video.

Your videos are so beautiful, as are you and your home 🩷🩷🩷

Sarah, I came over from Kelsey’s channel @Fivebirdsnest and I’m loving your channel even though I’m an empty nester and single, I love thrifting and you’re encouraging me that I can still be a homemaker and make my home beautiful and welcoming for myself and guests. You sharing your home and prayer encouragement is uplifting and refreshing. I’m binge watching all your videos. And your sourdough bread making is something I’ve been wanting to try. 💜💜💜 TYFS your home! PS: Don’t paint the brick it’s beautiful and really gives the cottage look.

Hi came over from Kelsey at Fivebirdsnest. Enjoyed your station

Lambs ear is a different plant than what you've got on your dresser. Lambs ear looks quite similar to sage 😁

Don’t paint the brick! It’s beautiful just the way it is. ❤

I have been watching fivebirdsnest since it began. I LOVE her channel. Read up on the oils you use, some are tooxic to cats and dogsjust even in a diffuser....

Love the brick in your home,please keep it that way. I thought a while back you received a green sofa now I see the white one which I love. Your home is cozy and nurturing.

This videos was so relaxing🥰

I love the brick in your bedroom I hope you don't paint it. Your bedroom is beautiful

I would definitely leave the brick alone! Its so beautiful, and it's usually the feature in your thumbnails that makes me click, honestly, lol. It's beautiful as is 💕

Oh, please don't paint the brick! Its so beautiful!

Adding my voice to the others that do not want you to paint that beautiful brick wall. Blessings and prayers...

I loved tagging along on your day Sarah! Whatever you decide about your brick I know it will be beautiful because it already is! Blessings, Cindy🧡

Watching your video is a great start to my day. I love your house, it’s beautiful. I love the brick in your bedroom but it’s your choice if you want to paint it. What about a white wash?

Its OK TO REMOVE LABELS,ETC. OFF OF PILLOWS, BLANKETS, ETC. - and it all looks so much neater. Just a suggestion. Enjoingy your channel..

Kelsey its so sweet, and just as pretty! Her boys are the cutest little ones.. he channel is really growing! Personally I wouldn't paint the brick, i love a brick accent wall in a home its just a cozy feel. Thank you for sharing your day with us, and pray your days/weeks are going well also! God bless🙏

You want some contrast for interest, keep the brick as is.

HAPPY SUNDAY IN MAY Sarah, family, and fur babies. HEY SMOKEY BABY. Love Kelsey's channel. STTB

I really enjoyed the video. The brick looks so charming in your bedroom. This is one of my favorite types of videos.❤ (I wish it was longer so I could work with you) I’ve been doing some spring cleaning but this wind that seems to be daily is so discouraging. It’s like it’s for nothing and we haven’t had any rain. I’m not a person that enjoys summer and it’s heat. I’m already looking forward to fall. ~ Janet 😘

Please don't paint the brick. It's lovely the way it is. So much warmth & character. ❤

My vote is don’t paint the brick. It is beautiful. Also, in kitchen I would have small area for open shelving but keep most of your cabinets. Open and closed and the best in my opinion😁

I am from Kelsey’s channel! She is adorable! I love your aprons.

That brick wall is perfect the way it is. Oh please please please don't paint it.❤❤❤

I love the brick! It's so warm and lovely looking. I vote to NOT paint it!

I think your brick in the bedroom looks more English cottage. I would not paint it.❤

For sure don't paint the brick! The brick already is very simple and also adds warmth. It feels very Beatrix Potter and old world. With painted brick all of the dust will be so much more visible, it will scuff, it will look dirty over time. Take it from someone who's already been there done that.

NO!!! Dont paint over the brick!!! Also, keep your peppermint separate. That stuff really takes over everything and gets very deep roots. I had to just pull a ton of it out from my other herbs!🌱🌿

No paint on brick to special

Que paz medas verte 😍🏡😡⚘️

No don’t paint the brick, it makes your room so cozy ,it really adds to the cottage look and feel, if painted white you’ll lose some of that….❤

NO NO don’t paint the brick it’s so unique love all your cottage love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤

Since you asked... don't paint the brick. It doesn't really pop and goes with the natural look of your home.

Did you say he does his laundry for you?? My husband does his own laundry for himself lol

I love the brick as it is. But it would be beautiful white.

Do you buy special cleaning cloths or just use towels and washcloths as they age to much? Any particular material, probably not polyester just 100% cotton.

I think the brick wall would be very pretty painted!
