Painted Plaid Chargers

October 13, 2017~ DIY and craft projects, painting, Parties & entertaining, tablescape

Nothing says fall like plaids and buffalo checks of all kinds; flannels, napkins, blankets, shirts and even socks! I decided to put mine on two plastic platters to serve as colourful chargers and you can too using the Americana Chalky Finish paints in combination with your acrylics. As we enter the mother of all entertaining seasons I thought it would be fun to create some custom painted plaid chargers or sous-plats dishes. These are super easy to make, and you can create your own using plastic plates, proper chargers or even wood platters.

p.s My best well known attempt at this has been my vinyl Otomi chargers which I did last summer // here //.

You can catch the full tutorial for painted plaid chargers on the DecoArt blog // here //

Using Americana's chalky finish paint you can cover-up ugly plastic plates and create beautiful painted plaid chargers.

Materials

  • Plastic plates
  • Painters Tape
  • Americana Chalky Finish in Everlasting, Refreshing and Revive
  • Americana Acrylics in Avocado and Ultra Blue Deep.
  • Paint Brushes

This is where I got to test-out the painted plaid chargers with a good ole’ slice of pie. I think the colours are fantastic for fall, and I may in fact make some more in different colours. Black, white and grey, and some pinks and reds would look lovely. You could even makeover plates if you wanted!

Point being, don’t be afraid to use paint for all kinds of crafts, and play around with all the finishes because you may find a new use for one, like I did with the painted plaid chargers.

OH, and if you’re loving the animal plates, they’re from Anthropologie (you can buy them in the Shop My Style section of the blog // here //), and the clock face plates are by Ralph Lauren.

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]
