Simple DIY Anchor Silhouette Canvas

We are back on land!
Although it feels like I am still at sea.
 I am told this is quite normal :).
The cruise was so much fun & I will definately share photos soon.
I need to edit and sort through them first.
Today I thought I would share some details from 
one of my favorite and EASY DIY projects
 that I did not too long ago.
 
for my very tiny half bath.
I thought it would be a good focal point and
add a little fun to the space since we live coastally.

TO START
a canvas-24″w x 30″l
2 paint colors
(I choose BM Texas Leather & BM White,
 both left over latex house paints)
2 small rollers
3″ painters tape
medium flat artists brush
&
template
(which you will create from below)
 
TEMPLATE
 



















 I have labeled them for you 1-4.
Right click hit “save as” for each one ( I save in pictures).
Now you are ready to print.
Make sure you print each FULL page in LETTER size on CARDSTOCK.
Cut white areas out.
Tape 1 to 2.
Tape 3 to 4.
Now tape top of anchor to bottom.
Voila, you have the anchor template. 
 
 THE CANVAS
Roll on your border color over entire surface (I chose crisp white.)
Let dry for a few hours.
Take your 3″ painters tape and cover each edge
entirely, the covered areas will become your border.
Press firmly so paint doesn’t bleed.
Now take your second color and fill in the middle,
2-3 coats will do it( I used Texas Leather.)
Let dry.
Measure the middle and lay your template on top.
Put small pieces of tape on edges so it doesn’t move.
Trace with pencil.
Fill in the anchor using a medium painters brush & paint
(I used crisp white.)
 
 

Let me know if you have any questions.
Good Luck!

 Have a great Labor Day Weekend:)!!!

Chilled Avocado Mint Soup With Roasted Radicchio

It’s been one hot, gorgeous summer and the homegrown harvests have been nothing short of raaadicchio. See what I did there? I know, total pork (pun dork).
A free spirit and entrepreneur at heart, my 11-year old neighbor, Lily, has been working odd jobs for family-friends in exchange for fresh grown produce. When she showed up at my door a couple weeks ago with a head of radicchio, I knew exactly how to incorporate this beautifully bitter leafy green into a dish made for this hot-as-all-hell summer: chilled avocado mint soup with roasted radicchio. Queue drooling.

Playroom Makeover Using Sherwin-Williams 2018 Color of the Year

Hi there friends! Today is the day!! Not only do I get to share Sherwin-Williams 2018 Color of the Year today but I also get to show you part of our playroom makeover!!! My boys have told me multiple times that this is the coolest thing I have ever done in our house, that is all I need to hear to feel like a rock star. I used 2 Sherwin-Williams colors from the 2018 Unity palette and created a color blocked focal wall in their playroom. I have to say, I think its pretty cool too!
