DIY Hand Dipped Glazed Pot

Happy Friday!
Do you get the itch to plant once
Spring arrives?
I do!!
By this time most of my indoor herbs have seen better days.
So for me hitting the garden center in early Spring is must.
Bringing fresh herbs into my home again makes
me so incredibley excited, happy, & giddy.
Does this make you happy too?
And with that comes the search for pots.
Am I right?
What to re-use, what to buy & what to paint.
Here is a quick tutorial to giving your pots an
original hand dipped glazed look.
new+pot+pics+002pm
1. Find your pot.
2. Pick out base color(spray paint) & contrast color(latex).
Spray your pot.
3. Flip pot over. Take your contrast color,
I used a latex house paint.
With a brush apply paint to the lower third portion.
4. Immediately spritz water lightly.
5. Once it runs, take a paper towel and wipe off runs up to horizon line, leaving a jagged edge.
Clean up excess paint with a wet wipe.

Have a fantastic weekend!
My new blog should be up & running by Monday.
I can’t wait for all of you to see:).Sharing At

BHG Makeover: DIY Custom Built-In Wall Unit

Hi there friends! You have been asking for a while and today I am sharing the details on how we (Robert + I) designed and built a DIY custom wall unit for the BHG makeover. If you aren’t familiar, I teamed up with Rebuilding Together to give a deserving homeowner (Karen) a FULL room makeover with a feature in the Oct 2017 issue of BHG. This built-in was a true labor of love for my PIC (partner in crime). I remember showing up to his house over a year ago on a cold, fall day with this sketch up of the custom built-in I had in mind. It was a shameful rendering but he got it, right away. I knew then that we would make a great team (and we did). Not one time did Robert say no, I don’t thing so or can’t be done. And let me tell you, we hit a lot of snags and set backs. You can tell by the in progress shots below how we poured our heart and soul into this project. The biggest thank you to Lowe’s!!! For which without their contribution to this project, it would have never happened!

Modern Coastal Boy’s Bedroom Reveal

Today is the day! I am finally revealing Jack’s Modern Coastal Bedroom, the before & afters and all of the sources! It has been a few months in the making so I am super excited to share this makeover with all of you, mostly because I LOVE how it turned out. Before his space lacked, in every sense of the word. We kept a queen size bed in his room for “company” but rarely used it for such. The walls were blah and it was very uninspiring. As Jack got older I really wanted a space that felt creative and fun. A place he could get away and read or play his Lego’s. I also wanted it to reflect the things he loves, like the ocean and sea creatures, mostly sharks:).

  6. Such an awesome idea, Jen! Reminds me of the expensive pots from Pottery Barn for a FRACTION of the cost! Thanks for sharing!

  14. You are a-ma-zing! I love this idea, these look like they would have been super spendy at a garden shop. Love this project Jen!

  27. Love this idea! Did you use a plastic pot?? I’m wondering what type of material is best for this project. Can’t wait to try it!

    1. Hi Jenny,
      Thank you! I used a cement pot, the more texture the better, but I think any material would work:). Hope this helps! Have a great week.

  29. I hope I am not repeating a question that has already been asked. What two paint colors did you use? Btw I love your blog!!! I’m using so many of your DIY ideas for my home. What I really wish is that you could come and be my personal interior designer(free of charge of course)! Lol:)

    1. Hi Brooke,
      Thank you so much, that make me happy knowing you are using some of my ideas:). It was a cream spay paint and BM charcoal for the bottom. Hope this helps. Have a great day! Jen

  30. When you say BM house paint, do you mean outdoor paint for exterior painting or just indoor house paint for wall? Maybe it would not matter as long as it’s latex?.

    1. Hi Karen,
      Sorry, just regular latex paint for interior. Have a great day! Jen

  31. I know I already commented on this post but I feel the need to say it again. This idea is awesome and It turned out great.
