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 ...

What Happened.. pt1

I’m going to tell you a story. Some of you know, some of you don’t. For those who don’t I’m telling my story as it’s still happening 4 years later. So I’m going to lay it all out on the table. I was pregnant with a baby girl, not Emma, her name was Makayla. I went to my regular ob appointment and I was told during my ultrasound something was wrong. She had a defect with her skull. I had never heard about this defect until that day, so I had no idea how serious it was. So when I was asked if I wanted to terminate I said no because I didn’t understand. Why would I terminate my child so easily without even knowing really why? So though I didn’t get why it was so bad by what my doctor was saying, it seemed pretty serious so I posted in a mom group asking for some prayers, that they were getting me an appointment with a specialist to see how serious her defect really was. My appointment wasn’t for a couple of days. Waiting for the appointment we did so much research on her de...

It arrived 95% already set up with very easy to understand instructions. The treadmill is well made and sturdy. With going up to 8mph, you're set I love to run.
