What should I do with these two lines?

il y a 10 ans

I wanted to expose this whole brick wall but the contractor hacked some parts to put in electrical pipes so now I'm left with two cement lines on the wall.

I was thinking of plastering the spaces between the two lines so that it looks like a column but I don't think the outcome will be good.

I actually like it as is, ads lots of character. If it makes you crazy, call a mason. If you go the mason route, observe carefully as the work is done. You don't want it to look like a bad band aid attempt. Good luckl!

this brickwork can be 'repointed' with the original cement to blend in, a few of the orig bricks maybe required, just look online for method or call a mason.

Besoin de conseils pour choisir les rideaux pour un salon scandinave

bonjour, ils sont très bien les rideaux que vous avez trouvé, le bleu est bien clair et dans les tons pastels que nous utilisions beaucoup en Scandinavie. Le bleu assortie pour le coussin est parfait. Si vous souhaitez vous rapprocher du style Scandinave il faut choisir entre rideaux et voilage comme on ne mets jamais le deux, beaucoup trop lourd pour nous intérieurs ou on essaye toujours garder une luminosité maximale. En Tunisie vous avez le problème contraire donc il faudra s'adapter et trouver une équilibre entre le style Scandinave et vous besoins. Si vous souhaitez avoir une voilage je conseillerai vivement un blanc uni, sans rayure! votre tableau bleu et jaune sera très bien avec l'ensemble, il est très beau!

Comment améliorer ce plan de cuisine?

Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!

Mason for sure.

How about adding some faux beams to cover the area or cover just that section with some nice reclaimed wood? I have seen photos on houzz where they had used old sections of lath and plaster. You could get creative here. What turns out to be your biggest dilema can often be your greatest design idea. What room is this? Could it possibly be covered with a cabinet or large freestanding piece of furniture?

Just curious... is this an indoor space or outdoors? What are you going to do with it? It looks very cool... honestly, I don't mind the "lines" but I'm sure there are things you can to do minimize them. Calling a mason is a good start.

Another option would be to bring in a an artist / faux painter to paint the concrete to match your bricks......

-- Well, this is a shame but I'm sure that you will enjoy having the powert in this space. The walls are awesome so do what ever it takes to fix the wall. I have no solutions for you except to encourage you to call in a mason. Those guys know their craft so I'm sure he/she could patch things in seamlessly.

Looking at the left side of the door opening it looks like the wall is only 1 brick thick. If this is the case you have very little room between the surface of the brick and the new electrical conduit, so removing this concrete and replacing with a veneer of old brick will be extremely difficult and laborious.. if even possible. Some of the rest of the wall does not look to be in fantastic shape either… so do you have a different wall that would work as the exposed brick wall? Then just cover this one with some other material. Or …just leave the exposed section as a frame around the door opening. It looks like if you may have enough to leave an equal sized section exposed on either side of the door opening up to the ceiling.

What if some of the bricks are swapped out for bricks here and there from other parts of this and other walls so to spread out the cemented bricks and camouflage the "lines"? I expect that if the electrician had removed these bricks once then it can be done again without compromising the stability of the wall? There must be some parts of the building you can change tiles from? I do also think this is a job for a patient mason.

call a mason. wall needs tuckpointing and the bricks replaced where the electrician went wild. it is questionable how he buried the conduit in the brick wall.

they could be faux painted out or the whole wall could be painted

I believe the Apache technique of hanging the hacker upside down in front of the wall scars would be a somewhat satisfying remedy...

I also like the "old world" look of it "as is". Every brick wall has a story and this one has some battle scars that add to it's rustic nature.

ooohh never thought of faux beams before! This will be my bedroom. I wanted to have sorta like an industrial theme. I would have a closet but then it would be blocking a huge part of the brick wall- which is the main idea

and yes, it's only 1 brick thick! The people hasn't really finished it. There's still some grouting and cleaning left so the end result will look much better that the photos.

Exactly what I thought! Having equal sized section exposed on either size of the door. I'm still contemplating. Would it be too small. What do you all think?

Thanks for the suggestions people! I've never come across the term tuckpointing before and wouldn't have without your ideas.

Good idea to get someone to paint like brick.

Trying to get a handle on what this room is- you say bedroom? will the door be the entry to the bathroom? You could consider hanging a sliding barn style door on a track which would move to the left to close the bath. and conceal most of the wall area when open.
