DIY Stove Cover!

 Recently I posted about a stove cover I had made for my new glass top stove. I received a lot of comments and DMs asking how I made it, so this for blog post today I will be explaining how..


At Home Depot I picked up a 1x6 and a 1x4 board.

(Cut list)

With the 1x6 I cut 4 boards to 29 1/2 inch long each.

With the 1x4 board I cut 2 boards at 22inch each.

*Measure your stove to be sure of your exact cuts*

(Build)

  • With the 29 1/2inch boards for the length of my stove, I attached them all together using wood glue.
  • I then used the 1x4 boards for the sides. Used wood glue to attach the boards and wait for that to dry.
  • Once the glue was dry I went in with my Ryobi Brad Nailer to secure the 1x4 boards to the rest.
  • I left a few wood cracks as I love the imperfections of the wood look. You can feel free use culk to cover it all.
  • I then went in with my sander really thoroughly to get the edges and everything smooth.
(Decorate)
  • What happens next is up to you. Paint, sand.. whatever your preference. 
  • For my design, personally I stained mine with Varathane Stain in the shade Ebony.
  • I then screwed on both of the handles to the 1x4 side boards.
  • After, I used my cricut to add my design. I will add my "Be Our Guest" svg for those who wanted it.

  • I wanted to also make my stove multi-purpose, so I added a safe food seal so id be able to use it as a cutting board as well. 
  • I highly recommend a Polyurethane CLEAR coat when you are finished to keep your project protected, and easy to clean.

Never Grow Up

  I constantly go between wanting my kids to be little forever, and being excited about all the things they’ll do in this life. When your kids are little, you are so loved—smothered, even. So much that sometimes you need to come up for air. But those little kids that need you so much end up pulling away completely left you wondering when they grew up so fast! When they sit on your lap or crawl in bed with you, you have no idea if it will be the last time. Today may be the last day your baby wants to nurse. It may be the last time they need you to lie down with them when they have a bad dream. It may be the last year they want you to hold their hand walking them to school. It's funny how the same moments that make us want our child to be a bit more independent can make us the most nostalgic when those moments are over. But...  There will come a day when they start thanking you for all you've done. There will come a day when they ask you for relationship advice. There will come ...

SNAPTAIN DRONE

"Say hello to my little friend" SNAPTAIN  sent me their SP510 Drone and let me tell you, I'm so in love with it. It has been so much fun. Ive always wanted a drone, they bring photography and taking videos to a whole new level. There's so many places I want to take my SP510 and play around with it. I think the beach is our next step! Imagine how beautiful the video would be of the beach at sunset though a drone, ahhhh, lovely. Check out the Drone  HERE Drones are not only fun, but can also record and photograph beautiful moments at anywhere at anytime. As a mother I really love that part. We mamas always want a way to capture those memories we have with our children. With me always behind the camera, that can be difficult, but thanks to my new little Drone friend here- I now have a little help with that. Some things I loved the most about the Snaptain SP510 Drone was of course, the camera/video features it has. Certain hand gestures let t...
