The other day I got this crazy idea to whitewash our brick walkway. I decided I would try and do this DIY with my 3.5 year old (what was I thinking?!) but we went ahead and did this quick (somewhat) and easy DIY project the same day. We spent the afternoon whitewashing brick and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.
