The new house will have a brick wall through the middle of it, to give it some thermal mass. I've looked at a lot of bricks recently, but the ones I liked most were these pallets of mixed bricks at one recycling yard:
Two pallets aren't enough for our wall. So I considered buying pallets of the various colours, and mixing them up like this. Like a scrappy quilt, only bricks! What do you think?
I hope it will look as good in real life as I am imagining, because the pallets with white paint dots on them in this photo:
will be going to Lal Lal soon. These colours look a bit brighter only because the bricks were wet after all the rain this morning. And I suppose if they end up looking dreadful, we can always paint or render them later!

I think old bricks are so nice! These will make a lovely wall for your house.
We blended old clinkers with a mix from the brick yard and it worked beautifully. Good luck with your wall.
Oh I like the look of the mixed bricks also--that will be just stunning I think...good luck hugs, Julierose
The old bricks have so much character and will look great all mixed together.
Exciting times. Looking forward to visiting.
The mix of bricks look great! I like the idea of of a 'scrappy' thermal wall.
I'll eat one of those bricks if they look any good when they are laid.
