Brick wall
In order to do a brick wall first you are gonna need bricks. In my case I had access to full sized left over bricks, so I spent a day cutting a 3/4" veneer off both sides to create my tile. Took a fair amount of time but I like the look of a real brick vs the veneers you can purchase ( or at least the ones I could find at the time, 7 yrs ago).
Given I went with a warehouse style brick stack I wasn't to concerned with it being " perfect". So I applied tile mortar to my drywall and started laying my bricks leaving enough space to apply my mortar (like grout) after.
I then returned to the project once the tile mortar was set and switched to a brick mortar to fill in the joints ( jointing). I mixed my mortar and used an industrial bakers bag to squeeze it into the joints. In my case I used a rubber glove to squish it in the last bit to fully fill the joint and a sponge to remove the excess to give it the final look.
I would also recommend electrical box extensions to be placed on existing receptacles to allow for the depth of the bricks. I think that covers it??
