A dispute over the kind of brick used on a multi-million dollar downtown hotel came to a final vote
And Thin Brick Won!
Downtown Des Moines' riverfront will soon have two new hotels. However, it didn't come easily. Monday morning, the city council ended a long debate about what kind of bricks to use on the outside of the development.
The hotel developer's original plans called for a "thin brick" veneer. However, the city of Des Moines' design board worried the thin bricks could lead to mold and wouldn't fit in with the city's vision for the riverfront.
The project needs approval

Your Questions About Brick Siding Ideas
Maria asks…Paint ideas for exposed brick wall?I have exposed brick walls on two sides of my lounge. The brick walls are around 4 ft wide facing each other at the end of the room while the rest of the wall is plastered and painted in off-white. There are full length glass windows between these two brick walls.
I am really looking for design ideas on what to do with these walls. The colour of the brick is not great right now and they look a bit dusty and old. Do I just plaster them and paint

Your Questions About Frontier Airlines
John asks…Frontier Airlines?I am looking to fly from Denver to Minneapolis in about a month. I see Frontier advertising really cheap rates all the time, but of course, now that I am looking I can't find any! So does anybody know if Frontier will be having a sale anytime soon? Are there any patterns to when they have sales, or is it random?

Your Questions About Fake Brick Wall
Sharon asks…How can I paint or darken the color of a fake brick wall?We have a fake brick wall in our kitchen of our new house. We actually love the look and it works well with the design of the room. We do not want to actually remove it. The problem is it is really faded and is almost a peach color. We want it to be a real red brick color or even a tan brick color but have no idea how to go about painting it. Any ideas?Mr. Thin Brick answers:Do not paint the brick to make it more vivid.
