I used this idea and revamped my large bathroom mirror this weekend. Here are my photos.

Easy Inexpensive Subway Tile

We installed beveled subway tile on sheets in our bathroom. It is a fairly easy tile job, but more labor intensive than the slate tile floor I posted. ...»

We had to install and tape the cement board. That was fairly easy. Measure and cut with a utility knife, tape, and screw on.

We arranged the tile on the floor to plan the pattern. I lined up the pattern with the bead-board plank wall.

We started in the corner because of the window.

We rented a wet-saw from Home Depot, but we waited until we had to make the cuts, so we only had to rent it for one day. The saw worked well, but not on small cuts; tiles shattered. So we then purchase da ten dollar tile cutter for the smallest pieces.

Tip 1!!!! The mastix has to be white when one installs glass tile otherwise its true color won't show.

Tip 2!!! A big sponge and a large bucket is great for washing off the grout.

Once the grout has dried for a couple of days, seal it. The water will bead on the tile and it will stay nice for a long time! Reseal every six months or when you notice that the water is no longer beading.

Visit my blog for more information and photos.

  • Old storage room, narrow and GREEN!!  We saved the shelves for another purpose.
  • We divided the storage area into two spaces w/a door in between.  This the new bathroom bench.  The space just outside the door is the closet/dressing area. We used vinyl tile for the flooring, it is grouted too. LOVE it. easy/cheap
  • New bathtub at the far end of the space shown in the first GREEN photo.
  • This is the large bedroom that the new bathroom is off of.  The door to the bathroom space is just out of sight on the left.
  • Before paint in kitchen.   Don't ya love the 1970's light in the foreground top?  We changed that out first thing.
  • This is the new kitchen paint color.  Love the color, now to work on the pink counter tops.
  • This is faux paint finish in the Living Room.  It was just not the color nor the pattern for me.  :(
  • This is the after paint treatment.  Chocolate brown and a nice pale tan color.
  • Before pink walls :(
  • After, light tan walls :)

New Bathroom!!

We turned a storage room into an en suite bathroom. The space is much better used now.

The house was also pink everywhere, so we are beginning to change the colors slowly. Will one day change the pink counter tops too.

Mosaic Tile Framed Mirror

It's almost a universal consensus that we all hate builder-grade plate glass mirrors. It's so easy to spice them up, so I guess that's the silver lining! I looked into using ...»
hardware-store mosaic tiles, but they were a bit too pricey for me. My solution? Hot glue and individual glass tiles! I bought them at Hobby Lobby for $15. The tiles have had no problems at all staying put in over a year of use. Plus I did it while 9 months pregnant, so it's a very user-friendly project!

Powder Room Makeover on a Budget

We gutted and redid our (disgusting!) half bath right after we moved in. We did everything ourselves, including installing the new floor and painting the pearlescent stripes on the walls. ...»
The mirrored vanity is my favorite thing! If I had to save one (non-living, unsentimental) thing from our home in case of a fire, I'd be hauling that vanity out with me!

Another Thrifty Tip!

In my quest for better health and pinching pennies, I purchased one of the automatic soap dispensers before looking into the price of refills. My clever DH found a solution: After the ...»
soap was gone, he drilled a hole in the top of the soap container so it can be easily refilled. I recommend using generic since I found the name brand soaps would thicken up and clog the dispenser.

  • This is a guest bathroom before we added a home office on the other side. The view looks out onto the roof of the garage in this photo.
  • Call me crazy, but I wanted to save this wallpaper from Ralph Lauren. It had just been discontinued. The home office wall is now visible and I have a dark hole. I had an electrician add wiring to back light this window.
  • Fortunately, I found a vintage window at Scott's Antique Market. It was trimmed out and ready to install in the hole where the previous window had been.
  • Installed and painted!
  • Back lighting with rope lighting
  • I'm so happy that I could keep this wallpaper and now have a vintage stained glass window in this room.
