The white certainly makes it look larger . I don’t hate it, but I am a fan of the original brick… looks more classic and timelessAnother abomination of Frost's tenure was ruining the awesome red brick appearance of his home by painting the bricks white. My wife watches home improvement shows and I HATE when the moron home flippers paint over bricks and paint nice-looking oak or cherry kitchen cabinets black or lime green to make the place more "modern".
