Some things I’ve learned so far while DIY’ing our front porch with brick: 1. When mixing the adhesive, you don’t need as much as you think. Once you mix it with water, you have to use it. Mix it in small batches. 2. For most the brick, smearing the adhesive on the concrete is better. However, for the corners, I found it best to use the trowel and smear the adhesive directly to the brick. 3. It’s not going to be perfect, no matter how hard you try. The brick is intentionally imperfect {and most likely the space is as well}. Every once in a while, take a step back and look at it from afar…otherwise you will spend hours like me trying to get it lined up with every single wall/line in concrete/post. Next up is to fill the area with the brick sheets! Would you do a classic or herringbone layout? Follow along to see how this project turns out! . . . #diy #diyhomedecor #homedecor #handmade #americanfarmhousestyle #brickfloor #brickbybrick #porchmakeover #porchdesign #cottagesandbungalows #diyprojects #diyer #diyhomeprojects #diylife #budgetdecor #interiordesign #vintageinteriors #diyart #bhghome #mybhghome #oldmillbrick #countryhomemagazine #easydiy #countrylivingmagazine #hometalk #betterhomesandgardens #thesimplydistressed
