DIY Bone Inlay Coffee Table

January 25, 2018~ Decor, Furniture DIY, living room, studio

It should come as no surprise to you that I’ve got a hard-on for all things with bone inlay. It’s a great way to bring colour and bold pattern to your space, and I’ve done it twice before, so at this point I’m a pro. I use a stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils that my friend Emy from Semigloss Design let me have after she was done for it. Considering I’ve used it 3 times now I probably should have just bought my own, but hey! you live and ya learn. My DIY bone Inlay Coffee Table is one of the final missing pieces for the studio space, so as soon as it’s finished I can finally show it off to y’all.

Like with any furtniture project, it all starts with the right piece. I’ve know about this project for ages, and have spent just as long looking for the right coffee table. I tried thrift stores, online classifieds, in stores and more. I lost out because a lot of them sold beforehand, or were too good to paint. This one fell into my lap for the right price of 20$, so I knew it was meant to be.

Step 1: Paint the table in your base coat. I chose Juno because I wanted pink, but I needed it to be strong enough that it would show nicely under the white stencil work. Because FAT paint is amazing, I didn’t even need to sand or prime before I started. Once that first coat is on, the rest glides on like butter.

Don’t ya just love the state of my manicure? hahaha I definitely went home and gave myself a new colour after seeing how bad it looked in all the photos.

Step 2: Once you’ve got the bottom coat, use a roller and apply a second coat. It should glide on, so take the time to get all the little nooks and crannies for total coverage.

Step 3: Using your stencil start rolling on your design in chalk white. I find that the older the stencils, the harder it is to get a clean roll, so for a couple of the designs I actually traced and then painted by hand. It was time consuming, but I wanted a clean look.

Each design is unique, and the fun comes when you get to create the look. I always opt for symmetry, in the design, so I usually place things to make sure it all works first. You can find tons of inspiration on Pinterest (and even in my own posts) so don’t be shy about doing some research.

You can see the outlines from the details I traced, but after the second coat they were gone, so it all worked!

Step 4: Let it all dry and seal with a top coat! FAT paint makes a clear top coat, but I had enough in an old can kicking around so I used that to seal it.

    What is the height of the table? It is higher than most I’ve seen for coffee tables, but I really like that look. Thanks for the great post!

      Ya know, it’s a tall coffee table, that’s for sure. The guy I bought it off on Kijiji was getting rid of it because it was too high. I’d say it’s 20″?

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]
