Baby quilt FINISHED

Done! I used a grey polka dot for the border from It's a Hoot by Momo. The grey is Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton Ash and the white is from the Bella Solids collection. The fabrics in the middle are from Aneela Hoey's Sherbet Pips collection, of course. I decided I really enjoy machine quilting, and I might be brave enough to try a larger quilt next time.

How To Remove Paint From Hardware

Image
Materials: Citristrip Stripping Gel  Wash Cloth  Zipper plastic food storage bag  Paper towel  Steel wool scrubbing pad  Washcloth  Small plastic bucket  Plastic gloves  Tools:  Drill or screwdriver  Is your fixer upper full of lazily-painted cabinets, where no one bothered to protect the hinges from paint? Is it just me, or does it drive you crazy too? Here's an easy and non-smelly way to remove paint from your cabinet hardware. Step 1:  Remove hardware from your cabinets  Remove hinges, etc. from your cabinets using a drill or screwdriver  Seriously?  Step 2:  Put your hardware in a plastic food storage bag, then pour in some Citristrip.  You don't really need a ton of gel.

$20 Hollow Core Bi-Fold Closet Door Makeover

Materials: 1/4" thick, 4x8 sheet of plywood, cut into 3 1/2" strips the long way (I used  this  from Lowes)  Liquid Nails Caulk w/Caulk Gun  Sanding Sponge  Wood Filler  6" foam roller  2" Angled Paint Brush  1/2" Angled Paint Brush  Primer  Paint  Plastic Drop Cloth  Painter's Tape  New Hardware (knob or pull)  Tools:  Miter Saw Brad Nailer with 1" finishing nails Pencil  Level  Tape Measure  Drill  A Second Pair of Hands (I used my trusty husband)  Step 1:  Cut your plywood into 3 1/2" strips the long way  A very nice employee at Lowe's did this for me.

I used the smooth side because I didn't want the knots to show....

How To Paint Laminate Countertops To Look Like Stone

Image
Materials: Sanding Sponge  Rag Paper towels  Painters tape  Drop cloth  Primer  Craft paint (I used black, metallic white, metallic gold, and maroon)  2 small paint foam roller Small paint synthetic roller   Paint tray  Gloves  Paper plates  3-4 artist sponges  Finishing sponge  Angled paint brush  Foam paint brush  Minwax Polycrylic   Tools:  Artistic ability, I guess.  I really wanted to paint this orange countertop a different color, but I didn't want to pay $70-$100 for one of the kits on the market. So I recreated the look with primer, craft paint, and sponges. It was pretty painless. The end result isn't perfect, but I like it. I had a lot of the materials already on hand. After I bought craft paint, sponges, and polycrylic, this project ended up costing about $30. Step 1:  Sand laminate surface gently with sanding sponge.   Man hands, am I right...
