Bone Inlay IKEA Moppe

January 15, 2018~ Decor, DIY and craft projects, painting

Remember my beautifully bedroom dresser from this past summer? // here // Well I’m using the stencil again, and this time it’s on an IKEA Moppe to create a beautiful and eclectic office organizer. I know, you never thought you’d read the words “office organizer” on this blog, but hey! There’s a first for everything right? My Bone Inlay IKEA Moppe is something you can do in an afternoon, so if you’re tempted you should absolutely do one for yourself.

*DecoArt sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

A Bone Inlay IKEA Moppe is your stencil & organization loving dream come true. Use fun colours from DecoArt's line of paints to create a one of a kind piece that will stand-out in any setting.

Earlier this summer I was sent DecoArt’s Vintage Effect Wash, and quickly pushed it to the back of my paint shelf. I mean, it’s not really my style, and it looks to be geared towards a more farmhouse style. BUT, this past month while moving everything into the studio I found it again and thought it might be the perfect option for doing another bone inlay on untreated wood.

Materials for Bone Inlay IKEA Moppe

  • Ikea Moppe
  • DecoArt Vintage Effect Wash in Turquoise but Red & Berry would have been beautiful
  • Paint Roller + Tray
  • DecoArt Chalky Finish Paint in White
  • Bone Inlay Stencil

Step 1: Start by applying your first coat of vintage effect wash to the drawer fronts, and around the top and sides of the moppe.

Step 2: You can apply a second coat if you’d like, but I liked the look after just one, so I let it dry a bit.

Step 3: Using your bone inlay stencils, pick the right motif and get to work using a roller and paint tray. I chose the chalky finish paint because it sticks to almost anything!

Step 4: Once you’re done and happy with the pattern, do any touch-ups using the vintage effect wash. I know my stencil bled a little and needed some correction.

What I love about my Bone Inlay IKEA Moppe is that it fits right in with the home office situation as it currently stands. It’s eclectic and colourful, and feels right at home with all the patterns in the space.

I’m using it to coral pencisl, enveloppes cheques, receipts etc.

Ariel - PMQ for two
I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]
