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!

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.

Girls Hall Wall
This was one of our first small projects and it is definitely one of my favorite ones! Our girls have a hallway that connects both rooms so I wanted to do something special. We started with a boring blank wall! I used my silhouette Cameo 3 to cut a vinyl decal that said “In these moments, time stood still…” Then purchased the clocks at Christmas Tree Shops and set them to the time the girls were born. To complete this project, I purchased these BEAUTIFUL framed photos from Smallwoods. The quality of these frames is astounding and at such reasonable prices! I love walking by this wall everyday now!

So, I figure the first post needs to be an introduction to the BIG BRICK BEAUTY and explanation as to how we ended up here! My husband and I met in high school. After graduating and joining…
