Hello everyone,
My wife and I are moving into my parents’ house. However, my wife doesn’t like the existing red brickwork at all and wants to make some changes. I agreed because I’m glad she’s willing to move into the house.
We have original red bricks from the 1970s in good condition. There have been some extensions here and there using similar bricks, so those areas would need some cladding anyway.
Now for my question: Is it possible to apply new brick slips directly onto the existing brickwork? And if so, how would that work? Also, would it be possible to plaster some parts (e.g., the gable) directly over the old bricks?
I’m not asking about whether it makes sense, just about the feasibility.
Thank you very much for your help!!

As mentioned above, she imagines using clinker slips in the lower area, like the Wiesmoor sand gray coal from Röben.
I recently found something on the internet about "whitewash" or "limewash." It doesn't seem to be very well known in Germany, but it is quite popular in the USA. It looks pretty interesting.
