Watercolor Sheet Music Art

September 7, 2015 by Bethany Leave a Comment

Happy Monday!
I hope you are having a lovely Labor Day today. My husband is “laboring” today, so we don’t have any fun plans. However, last weekend we are able to get together with family one last time before school schedules started. We visited my sister’s new home for the first time, and I am in love with how she decorated it. I was especially taken with a set of colored sheet music art prints she had on the wall. I immediately wanted to try making them. I am pleased to tell you that this Watercolor Sheet Music Art was actually quite easy. If you are new to watercolor, this is the perfect project for you. You might even be able to involve the little ones on this project! They paint, and you cut.

Watercolor Sheet Music Art - Give old sheet music a new life with this colorful watercolor wall decor. Perfect for beginners.

 

 

The possibilities are endless with this watercolor sheet music art. You can match it to any room with any color or design, I already have some ideas for the kids’ rooms. Music is perfect for every room in your home!

Concrete Countertops Over Existing Laminate

July 27, 2015 by Bethany 14 Comments

This post is sponsored by Encore. All opinion are 100% my own. 

{Enter to win a free countertop refinishing system kit here!}

 

For those of you who don’t know, we bought our first home several months ago. It’s a lovely, 50’s era single level house. It’s sturdy and full of character, but we bought it knowing we would be doing some updates to it.

Apparently, remodeling costs money. A lot. 
So, we are trying to do a few things here and there that won’t break the bank. 

Although I wanted to do the bathroom first, my mind got stuck on concrete countertops for the kitchen. Surely, it’s a less expensive option than granite. 

Concrete Countertops over Existing Laminate - Don’t rip out your laminate, update them over the weekend with this concrete kit. Do it yourself!

Well, it’s still pretty expensive. A bit more research lead me to the Encore Countertop Refinishing System. As I read up on it and watched how-to videos, I decided this was the answer for us. We wouldn’t need to do any demolition, and we could do the update ourselves. 

Concrete Countertops over Existing Laminate - Don’t rip out your laminate, update them over the weekend with this concrete kit. Do it yourself!

I feel like I learned a few things along the way. I greatly encourage you to watch the provided videos, but use them as a guide, because I have found a few different things worked better. Be sure to refer to the instruction booklet that comes with your kit, but I wanted to offer an overview and tips from our experience. 

Although I bought everything recommended the project list, here is what you really need: 

  • 4” Putty Knife (for smaller areas
  • 6” Putty Knife
  • Lint-Free rags
  • Sandpaper (80, 120, 220 grit)
  • Gloves
  • Dust Mask
  • 1 2 1/2 Quart mixing container
  • 3 1 qt mixing container
  • 4 paint stirrers
  • Painters Tape
  • Foam Mini Roller

Prep: 

I HIGHLY recommend removing your sink. The finished look will be so much nicer. It will make your week a bit of a pain, just stock up on easy meals and prepare to use your bathroom sink for a few days. Having a professional, finished look is worth the hassle. Painters tape just won’t make it look nice due to the thickness of the product, so take the time to remove your sink. 

Concrete Countertops over Existing Laminate - Don’t rip out your laminate, update them over the weekend with this concrete kit. Do it yourself!

This kit is recommended for 50 sq feet and under. Our countertop space was 47 sq feet. If you are less than that, this kit will be perfect for you. If you measure your space and find you are very near 50 feet like we were, you will need to add a bit of extra water to Day 2 to have enough product to cover your surface. If you have more than 50 sq feet, you will need to buy 2 kits. 
 

 You also want to tape off the edges of your counter to protect walls, windows and appliances. Don’t tape it flush, give yourself a bit of room because the product will have a thickness. It is absolutely necessary to pull off the tape and reapply new tape after each coat of Superbond and cement mix. 

 

Concrete Countertops over Existing Laminate - Don’t rip out your laminate, update them over the weekend with this concrete kit. Do it yourself!

Day 1: Prime and Texture

Day 1 is a grainy, gray-colored primer coat. It has the texture of wet sand in pancake batter. You want to spend some time on this step. Not only do you want to be thorough in getting your entire surface covered (those edges are tricky), you want to be comfortable using your tools. If you are new to using a putty knife, you can still complete this project. Day 1 is the perfect time to try to get accustomed to the motion of spreading the product very thinly, and since this step will be covered up, it’s the best time to “practice.”

 

Concrete Countertops over Existing Laminate - Don’t rip out your laminate, update them over the weekend with this concrete kit. Do it yourself!

Keep it as clean as possible, it will cut down on sanding time later. Wear gloves, and spread it very thinly. The edges are super tricky and can eat up the product, so make sure you are spreading it as thin as possible, even on the edges, to ensure you have enough.

Let it dry until it is dry to the touch, and turns a chalky-white color. It was a humid week here, so our drying times were prolonged. Lightly sand the rough parts and peaks down. The whole thing will be rough, you just want to knock down peaks and big marks so you don’t use a ton of concrete filling them in. Then, add the second coat (as thin as the first) and let it dry overnight. Finish Day 1 with another good sanding. Be thorough but don’t overdo it. It’s easy to sand all the way down to your laminate!
Use a vacuum and a lint-free rag to clean up the dust. 

 

Day 2: Color

Day 2 is when it gets exciting. Today you will add 3 coats of colored concrete to your countertops. If your measurements were near the 50 sq foot max, I recommend adding water to the mixture. I spoke to the Encore specialist and got an okay to water it down, but I also recommend it because ours turned out perfect. For the first batch, we watered it down about 1/2 C, for the second coat we used 1/4 C water, and the last coat we mixed it as directed.

 

Concrete Countertops over Existing Laminate - Don’t rip out your laminate, update them over the weekend with this concrete kit. Do it yourself!
Again, you will be working in VERY thin layers. Make it as thin as you possibly can while getting full coverage. The concrete dries out quickly and can become too thick to work. Don’t worry! As you go, you can scrape the thicker parts back to the container, and add small amounts of water, about a tsp at a time. Also, be aware that your putty knife marks will be in the finished color. It’s part of what makes concrete countertops so fun, but be sure that you are not letting any drips dry. You can sand it down, but you will always have the round drip mark in the concrete, so keep that in mind. Follow the directions in the booklet for each coat.

It took us a few extra days to work this step, simply because it took a while for the coats to dry in the humid weather, and because my kids need me during the day.  Although this kit is technically a 3-day process, give yourself some leeway in case things don’t go perfectly, or you have to spend more time than you think. Be sure to lightly sand in between coats, try to make it as smooth as possible. The second coat is really the one you should try to make perfect. Sand it very well, and make sure you love all the marks. The back corner was pretty messy, so I used this step to fill in the corners and make everything look nice.

Use a vacuum and a lint-free rag to clean up the dust. 

The last color coat is VERY thin. I found it easier to use a foam brush and “paint” the product on the round backsplashes and on the round front. If you have round edges, it can get a bit frustrating. The foam brush helps apply the product a bit easier on the edges. 

Day 3: Sealer and Finish

Oh, happy day! You made it to the final day!  This day is super easy and doesn’t take much time. By now, you are probably realizing how much you took your kitchen sink for granted all those years… 

If you haven’t been using gloves this whole time, now is the time to put them on. The sealer is as sticky as pine sap, and you will need acetone to get it off your hands. I found it was easier to apply the sealer (and finish) by pouring it in a line instead of trying to spread out a puddle.

Concrete Countertops over Existing Laminate - Don’t rip out your laminate, update them over the weekend with this concrete kit. Do it yourself!

You want to make sure you have enough product so your counter appears slightly milky. If your foam roller is sliding around, you have too much, and you need to spread it out further. You will get a feel for it after a little while. Start with less than you think, you can add more if you need to. If you get a thin, thorough coat, you won’t need to worry too much about bubbles. You still want to back-roll the roller, but the thin coat will dry nicely. There is plenty of product, we used about half of it. Let it dry for several hours, and then follow up with the finish, applying in the same manner. 

Lastly, let it cure.

I know you are dying to have your sink back, but you need to WAIT a few more days to reinstall it. Even though your counter may feel dry to the touch, it still needs to completely cure. Wait at least 3 days, more if the weather has been humid. After that, you will need to wait a few more days before you can use your counters normally, about a week total. The wait is worth it, I promise. 

Look at those clean lines. I promise, it would not be that clean-looking if you used tape.

I absolutely love my new countertops! They look so much better than I imagined.

I admit, this system takes a good amount of elbow grease. You should expect to put effort into this project.  However, if you are like me and would rather work for something beautiful and affordable, then this system is the one for you. It’s pretty fail-proof, if you follow the instructions and guidelines. In the end,  you will have beautiful countertops without forking over a fortune to get them. 

Check out all the Encore colors here. We chose “River Rock”, and I think it works perfectly with the wood in our kitchen, and the slate backsplash looks gorgeous against the concrete. 

I hope you love this, because this week I will be giving away a kit for FREE to one lucky winner! Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it.

Twig Blossom Bouquet

June 5, 2015 by Bethany 2 Comments

Happy Friday, my friends!
You may remember that I have a total black thumb (these crochet succulents are still green, that’s about all I can do), so if I want something bright and pretty in my home, it has to be artificial. But artificial doesn’t have to be drab or faded!
I was doing a big of yard work and was clipping some dead twigs from a shrub in our backyard, and I really loved the look of these little sticks. The grayish-blue bark is just beautiful. I decided to rescue them from the waste pile and make them pretty with this twig blossom bouquet. 

Use some stick, twigs and artificial flowers to create the gorgeous twig blossom bouquet centerpiece.

This bouquet is so pretty, but the best part is that it takes only a few minutes to create. So if you are looking for a fun and easy weekend project, this might be the one for you! I put on a movie and set to work, it was fun and requires zero crafty skill. 

I absolutely love how it looks on my retro fireplace hearth, so fun and cheery. I think I need to do something about that green glass vase though, what do you think? I might spray paint it white. On the other hand, the green glass fits my mid-century retro house. 

I am sharing the details to this beautiful twig blossom centerpiece over at Pretty Providence today, so click over there and get crafting!

 

Want more “lively” crafts that you can’t kill? 
Try these crochet succulents, they will stay green nearly forever. These pom-pom dandelion flowers will never lose their fluffy tufts, and this stick wreath will always be pink and pretty.

Found Stick Summer Wreath

Happy summer (If it’s summertime where you are!)!  I hope you are enjoying the weather and the extra family time. I don’t have little ones in school yet, so for us,  summer means lots outside fun, and of course, whining at bedtime because it’s still light outside.  If you are still doing yard work and have a bit of yard waste, I hope this post finds you at a good time! I used a few sticks that I raked up in our yard and made this pretty summer wreath. 

Make this pretty summer wreath with just a few minutes and some sticks from your yard!
It’s quite rustic, and I love how it turned out. It’s a quick wreath project that you can make in about 30 minutes, so get outside and gather up some sticks!

Simple Rope and Crate Shelf

May 15, 2015 by Bethany 1 Comment

I have been in love with these cute wooden crates lately. I hope to make some kind of decor for my porch using them. Of course, that has been placed near the bottom of a nearly never-ending to-do list. 

Someday. 

For now, I came up with this super quick crate project, this rope and crate shelf. I love how it turned out, and I love how easy it came together. 

 

 

Rope and Crate Shelf - Make this quick and easy shelf from a wooden crate!

 

To make this rope and crate shelf you will need: 

Small crate like this
Small, thin piece of craft wood
A length of jute rope
Top coat or varnish
Wall Hook

 
Make sure to sand both of your wood pieces a bit. Even though they are probably quite smooth, you still want to make sure you don’t have any splinters or rough edges.

Next, measure your crate and make a corresponding mark on your craft wood. This piece of wood will be the shelf inside the crate , so try to make it to be as exact as possible. Once you have it marked, use a saw or other tool to cut it.

Rope and Crate Shelf - Make this quick and easy shelf from a wooden crate!

 

 

To secure the shelf in place, run a line of wood glue on both sides and the back of the shelf. 

Rope and Crate Shelf - Make this quick and easy shelf from a wooden crate!

 

 

It is easiest to put the shelf inside the crate at an angle, and then carefully straighten it once it’s in. 

If you need more glue, use a toothpick to dab it in places it is needed.

When you have the shelf level and glued, put it upright on it’s side and place a few heavy books to apply pressure as it dries. 

Rope and Crate Shelf - Make this quick and easy shelf from a wooden crate!

 

If your shelf is going in a room where there may be lots of moisture, like the bathroom, apply varnish to your shelf.  Once it’s dry, you can attach the rope.

Start by pulling one end in between the slats on the side of the crate.

Next, tie a big, chunky knot. I don’t really know any knots other than a square knot! I just wrapped and pushed it through randomly until I had a sturdy, chunky knot.

Rope and Crate Shelf - Make this quick and easy shelf from a wooden crate!

 

Trim your rope and repeat with the other side.

That’s  literally all there is to it! To hang your shelf, you will need to install your wall hook. This shelf will not hang on a nail or wall tack because of it’s depth, but it looks very nice hanging on a big hook.

I think this shelf will go perfectly in my bathroom, which I am redecorating with a nautical theme.

Whale Book Ends {Anthropologie Knock-Off}

November 20, 2014 by Bethany 2 Comments

I will be honest, I am not really sure what I am doing in my house, decor-wise. I need some new ideas, so I often look at all the beautiful stuff at stores like Anthropologie and Pottery Barn. Their stuff is of course, adorable and awesome, but I can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on decor. When I stumbled on this adorable whale book end set at Anthropologie, I fell in love, but knew I would never spend $70 on book ends. I decided to try and make them myself. 

These whale bookends ended up being less of a knock-off and more of a “creative interpretation”. But I still like how they turned out.

Salt Dough Bones

October 17, 2014 by Bethany 4 Comments

I have mentioned before how The Boy and I have been playing around with polymer clay, but who can forget about good ‘ol salt dough? It’s so inexpensive to make, and is a nice soft medium for molding. The Boy can spend an hour or more mushing his toys into a big mound, or making tire tracks with his cars. But it’s fun for me too! These salt dough bones were born while playing around together with the dough, and they are so quick and easy to make. They are such a simple way to add some macabre to your Halloween display.

Bats and Boos Halloween Printable Shadowbox

I used affiliates. For more info, click here. 

Who loves Halloween?! Me too! I think this year will be fun for the Boy. He wasn’t quite sure about it last year, as a newly turned two- year-old. But this year, he will be three and seems pretty stoked about the whole idea. I have been trying to nail down what he wants to dress up as, but so far he has picked ALL THE THINGS. Every costume. So this will be interesting! 

Although no decor is needed to get him in the Halloween spirit, I wanted to add another item to the Halloween home repertoire. This printable definitely fit the bill!

Home State Canvases

August 7, 2014 by Bethany 8 Comments

This tutorial is a review and is 100% my own opinion. I was provided products free of charge by Oriental Trading. No other type of compensation was received for this review.

I am loving all this state pride lately! SO many tutorials for cute state pride projects. I love this pendant, and I used this tutorial for map art to make a keepsake for a youth from my church who was moving to a different state. Well, I got these canvases from Oriental Trading, and have hung on to them for a while, trying to think of a perfect project to use them for. I decided we needed some state love in our home.
