Stenciled Animal Mugs

this is just too cool. i might just have to try it with my IKEA mugs:

“Look no further than the nearest pasture for inspiration to dress up plain dishware. To duplicate these mugs, print and cut out the animal shapes. Use these templates for Cow,Sheep, and Pig shapes. Place each shape atop a small piece of contact paper and outline it in pencil. Cut out with a craft knife; then discard the paper inside the outline. Peel away the backing and affix the stencil to a clean, dry mug, making sure to center the image. Following the package directions, use a soft brush to fill in the outline with dishwasher-safe PermEnamel paint ($3.49 for two ounces, joann.com); let set for a few minutes. Carefully remove the contact paper, clean up any edges with a damp cotton swab, and allow the paint to cure for 10 days.”

oooooh, amazing kitchen redo! i would love to have an all white kitchen someday (maybe not this modern though.) this kitchen looks so much bigger with the cabinets going all the way to the ceiling and the wider plank wood floors.

subway kitchen backsplash!

from livingetc.com
Bella and Dax’s splashback is a real graphic statement, and could be adapted for any image – just add a panel of Perspex for protection. Buy Tube map prints from iposters.co.uk, then attach them to the wall with Spray Mount. Or have an image of your choice enlarged to specific dimensions at digetex.com. Amari Plastics can cut Perspex to any size.
