Home Project! Our New Kitchen "Brick" Wall

L to R: Before: Wallpaper; In Progress; Completed Wall (Tyler approved)
Being married to an architect means new, creative house projects and improvements throughout the year. That's a great thing. This time, my hubby Tom came up with a way to improve the look of one of the walls in the kitchen replacing the wallpaper that looked like a brick wall, with a molded vinyl product that looks like actual bricks in 3-D. The before and after pictures are posted so you can see the difference.
Here's a piece of the product

 
   What's interesting is that visitors couldn't tell that the wallpaper wasn't real brick - yes, it was that good. Now, this product will really fool everyone.
  This is called Novik® Stacked Stone Polymer Siding Panel - Sand Blend. Click this link to learn more:   ModelNumber: SSPanel224  |  from Menards® SKU: 1467859 Keep in mind that this was made to go on the outside of a home, too!
   We owe a tremendous thanks to our friend Will, who spent his entire Saturday helping Tom install this in our kitchen.     
  Will has also been renovating and improving the house that he and his wife bought years ago. Will, like Tom, always has a project planned or in work to improve the house. Will doesn't work construction for a living, but is extremely skilled in everything from erecting drywall to electric to plumbing to building walls and framing windows.

  I think it looks great.  What do you think?
