DIY Photo Signs
Hello again! Today I give you a DIY project that’s super simple and inexpensive to do! I searched for the perfect signs to hang over the nightstands in our bedroom and when I couldnt find anything I liked but a quote, I decided to make our own. I grabbed to large peices of plywood we had left over in our scrap pile and my husband used the blow torch to burn them. You could also stain or paint them to match any decor style! I then used my Silhouette Cameo 3 to cut a vinyl stencil for my quote. I placed it on the wood and used a simple white…

Girls Bathroom Part 3
Back again with the girls bathroom! We are finally in the home stretch. The next thing I focused on was the subway tile backsplash. For the back portion of the tiling I used a tile mat. To use a tile mat you simply remove the paper backing and place it on the wall. Then remove the paper on the front and stick the tiles directly on the mat. Then you grout and your project is complete. For the side wall I went with a more traditional mortar process then grouted when cured. This took just over half an hour to lay the tiles and under an hour to grout. Disclaimer:…

Girls Bathroom Part 2
Hello again! Today we continue on the girls bathroom reno! For the next part of the bathroom budget remodel, I focused on the flooring and mirror. If you remember from my previous post, this is what we started with. Disclaimer: In order to continually bring you the best DIYs I can, I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post at no cost to you! Thanks for being here supporting Big Brick Beauty! It may be hard to see in that photo but the tile has an almost salmon pink hue to it! Super outdated. And we had a typical builder-grade frameless mirror. It lacked style and character.…

Master Bedroom
The master bedroom. It’s supposed to be a calm, tranquil place where you sit back and relax. Kick your feet up after a long days work. But our space. Definitely not tranquil. Or welcoming. Or calming. This is how the previous owner set up the room. Notice the bed against the window? We have beautiful (almost) floor to ceiling windows that span (almost) the entire length of that wall! I wanted to capitalize on them and take in all the natural light we could! So we placed our bed on the other wall. However, even with some new furniture placement we knew the room needed something. It was seriously lacking.…

Girls Bathroom Part 1
My eldest daughter came to me asking for a bathroom makeover! She stated that she was “bored” of Elsa and wanted something “new like maybe a rainbow?” Although we did not go with a rainbow theme, we did decide it was time to upgrade the outdated builder grade bathroom! This is what we started with! Disclaimer: In order to continually bring you the best DIYs I can, I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post at no cost to you! Thanks for being here supporting Big Brick Beauty! Ouch. White vanity with yellowed, stained solid marble countertop and brushed nickle pulls and faucet. Frameless dated mirror. Cheap…

Kitchen Island Makeover
When we first moved into our home our kitchen had been recently updated. The old owners moved the refrigerator to open up the dining area and add some open shelving. They also opted for new white with grey flake quartz counter-tops and a large single basin stainless steel sink with matching brushed nickel faucet and cabinet pulls. However, brushed nickel isn’t really our style. These were the cabinet pulls when we moved in. And these are the cabinet pulls I immediately changed them to. So much better! I love the large pulls for the drawers and round knobs for the cabinet pulls together! But we were still left with this…
