Bargain Saturday: Industrial Stencils Make a Strong Statement

The stencil selection at your local craft or paint store can be painfully "country." There are lots of scroll-y, floral, precious stencils out there, but I'm just not all that into them. I'm not saying I don't like floral patterns (I've got my share of it at home), I just want something different.

There are a lot of other options out there, like, industrial stencils. What I like about them is they're instantly recognizable, fun, and graphic. I love the fork and knife for the kitchen.

Stencils available in 6-22", from $6-28 at stencilease.com.

Sarah Richardson March Makeover Madness: Round Two

Thanks to all our Facebook fans for voting on this week's Sarah Richardson Makeover Matchup! In Round 1, the basement/media room from season 1 beat out the above ground media room from season 2. Round 2 brought the bathroom battle -- the master bathroom from season 1 vs. the family bathroom from season 2. They may look alike, but there was a clear front runner from the beginning. And the winner is...

 

The master bath from season 1! Maybe it was the en suite, maybe it was the double sinks. Here's what some fans had to say:

Video Tour: Visiting Bryan Baeumler's Dream Home, Part 1


Did you happen to catch the latest episode of House of Bryan?  Nice bedroom eh? The room is huge, that fireplace is something else and the closet is a regular Sex and The City dream. In fact, I paid a visit to the recently completed Baeumler residence, for Bryan's -- or B Baeum's, as I've taken to calling him -- personal House of Bryan tour.  And yeah... You'll want to watch the final reveal with a couple of Advils because fat chance you'll ever get that kind of craftsmanship in your reno. That's what happens when a contractor builds his dream home...

Anywhoo, enough depressing ourselves.  During my extensive tour of B Baeum's house, I got me a candid look at all the spaces featured in the show, with a smattering of Bryan's signature shenanigans.  I can't reveal the whole thing at once because that would be a big spoiler, so we kick off today with my poorly staged front-door ambush.  Bryan is a much better actor than I am, but the part that's really worth watching is a glimpse of the foyer and bits of the first floor -- you've not seen that yet. 

Next on the tour, we really get down to it -- the basement that is!  I had to see that Roman bathhouse he built himself with my own eyes...  But for now, heeeeeeeeer's Bryan!  

Make sure you come back after next week's episode for our second installment of the tour!
