Mighty, Mighty: Celebrating the Brick House
Like a lot of people, I grew up in a house that was brick on the outside, with a brick fireplace. In college, all the dorms I lived in were brick (along with most of the classroom buildings).

I like brick.
It's solid, it's durable, and it works in spaces that range from country traditional to urban and modern. Plus, though I usually think about brick as an exterior material, my history has shown that it works all over the house.
