Olive Ateliers Inspired DIYs - aged vessels, faux limestone sink, and faux terracotta dupes

This is only just the beginning! I'm definitely going to have to make a part two of this video. I hope I inspired you to created your own DIY aged vessels!
I was very inspired by the LA store called Olive Ateliers, with their rustic, mediterranean finishes surrounded by olive trees and lavender.
The moss: geni.us/wrXdvLU
Similar vessels to what I used:
Large pot: geni.us/cszxKZl
Tall large pot: geni.us/sloS
Olive Trees
Faux Olive tree with a good shape: amzn.to/3mgMWdT
Some of the materials I used:
Expanding Foam: geni.us/g26CNfS
Paint brushes: geni.us/cSG82Vl
Farrow and Ball Red tone primer: tidd.ly/40PP9fq

The expanding foam that ate the sink mold......soooooo very funny! Literally LOL But in all seriosness, the faux limestone sink looks wonderful. It is now the inspriration for me along with using airdry clay and or aluminium foil for changing pot's shape. Thank you.

[@phoebedoeseverything]

I’m so glad it’s inspired you! 💕✨

[@sandracross340]

Very interesting. So glad I clicked on this to see what you are doing. Love your “let’s see what we get” attitude. Will be watching to see what you do next.

Ah thank you! I think it was such a good way to make something for a specific sized space. my mantle is SUPER narrow so it worked out perfectly!

This was so creative and inspiring I’m DEFINITELY trying the foam technique. Ps. Ur personality, voice and accent is literally top notch. Ur voice is and accent reminds me of the moms voice from Bluey!! Any other moms of toddlers will kno what I mean lol❤

[@emmapoe2746]

Wow, I was really surprise there with every vessel project that you put together. I think that they came out pretty good. I laughed like you did with the foamy stuff. I didn’t know where that was going, but it turned out to be quite the piece from a distance, it looks like limestone I love all of olive Ateliers would love to own a piece someday or copy one of the pieces ha ha ha thank you so much for your inspiration. Be blessed.❤

[@phoebedoeseverything]

Thanks so much! I’m working on more DIYs including a better copy of the limestone, so stay tuned!! 💕

[@cyndeewenzel6439]

I'm really amazed how well that foam works! I've seen videos were people use mud and water and dry rubbed it on for an aged and rustic look. Thanks for all the great ideas. Also people rub moss on pots too. An idea for your terra cotta cylinders, maybe turn them into rustic candle holders for your patio? And use those flameless candles with the remote? Just a thought. Keep up the good work, the projects turned out beautiful.

[@phoebedoeseverything]

Of all the ideas, candle holders is what I keep coming back to. I’m going to have to do it! I also really want to try the moss. So many ideas to try! 🤩

Very interesting projects. I will keep the foam in mind when I try a project out that I think should use it. I actually already have an idea!

If you would have spray painted the foam, it would have broken down. You can never spray paint foam. It turned out great!

Great ideas! Chimney pipes can effortlessly be a base for a large plant pot elevating it off the ground.

Great idea to help create some different heights!

[@vintagelady1]

I am in love with your "limestone" sink! I think it would be so fun to try this, even tho it looks so fragile I'm not sure what I'd use it for. I actually wonder if you could spray paint it, b/c it looks/feels a lot like styrofoam, & if you spray paint that---it melts! Only one way to find out...! Have you looked at videos on making hypertufa, which is Portland cement, peat moss, & vermiculite, done in a mold much like you were doing, only w/ cardboard boxes, as you apparently must rip the mold apart. It is used for planters & such & is much more solid than the foam. But more work, & not as much fun! Love your attitude & your channel!

[@phoebedoeseverything]

I’m VERY interested in hypertufa, I think I might have to give it a go soon!! 🤩

[@markharmon9877]

I made a bubbling cauldron and a faux fire scene with this stuff for halloween. I used spray paint to add the colors. Worked perfectly and did NOT melt the foam

[@debpate9405]

The chimney like terracotta could sit on terracotta saucers . If you want to plant into them i would seal the open bottom and then make a few small holes for drainage.

[@phoebedoeseverything]

Great idea!

[@lzrd8460]

Tip: adhere your smaller pots to a lazy Susan ( I use blue tack) and then paint and move as need be. Easier & quicker.

Genius!!!!

If you use chalk paint, you can also add the baking soda for texture.

[@phoebedoeseverything]

Great idea, that definitely could have helped I think!

[@chrisjackson2345]

hyper tufa method pots would look good to for the stone sink idea. sponging color on works well too.

[@phoebedoeseverything]

I’ve been thinking the same thing, I’ve got an idea for part 2 👀

[@patriciaschroeder8623]

I saw a woman who removed the bottom of terracotta pots and planted in them. They look like potted plants but the roots were in the ground. Her pots were larger and she used them for trees. But you could be inspired to plant other types of plants.

[@phoebedoeseverything]

That must be what they were originally intended for in my garden! It makes a lot of sense. I’ve got plans to have some pots in the garden so could incorporate this idea 💕✨

[@carolsloss8440]

That's a great idea Patricia.

[@eydnamortensen5985]

Idea for the chimney pipes. Turn them into bug hotels😊

[@phoebedoeseverything]

That’s a good idea!!!!

[@rockshot100]

Not quite there, but lots of good ideas. Thanks. BTW, I have used drywall mud or maybe you call it "joint compound", or "mud". Then just grab a clump of it and smear it on the surface, and maybe even put it onto a "lazy susan" type thing that spins, to mimic a hand thrown pot, being sure to leave finger marks. It is great stuff, and very inexpensive. You can't put it on too thick but in layers otherwise it will crack and probably chip off. Be sure to scuff up the surface of everything, even the plastic with very gritty sand paper to ensure that your additions will not chip off. I would use a shellac based primer first, as well.🥰 Great idea to look at real aged pots for inspiration. Thanks again.

[@phoebedoeseverything]

I agree with you! I am trying to add more texture currently on some of them using these techniques, and also better colours. I'll get there one day!

[@rockshot100]

@@phoebedoeseverything Looks good already, try the joint compound, you will like it.

[@gilbertboyer9936]

Hi there, thank you for the wonderful ideas. For a little constructive criticism? Use a better and faster method of mixing your paint well by using a drill and rotary mandrill. It goes a lot faster and gives you a better mix. Thank you so much for a great video.

[@phoebedoeseverything]

That’s such a great idea, I’ll have to do that in the future. a massive upgrade from a stick in the garden 😅

In the first one is it cornstarch you added to the paint

Yes!

I think Phoebe is in England doing this: the paint cans prices are in £ pounds English money.

Yes! Normally around £50 (USD $63), and the sample I got was only £5 (around USD $6!)

I wish you had told us what kind of paint you used. Acrylic, latex, ??

[@phoebedoeseverything]

@@debradevine5014 Correct, I used corn flour, it has a different effect to baking soda which I have tried in the past. A bit of a smoother finish!

Why did you use corn flour instead of baking soda? I have never seen anyone use corn flour this way. Just curious, thanks.

It’s supposed to have a smoother finish!! I liked it and would do it again for that look

[@janeenmckenzie4586]

Where your paints acrylic? or water based?

[@phoebedoeseverything]

It was a mixture of acrylic paints and regular wall paint from the hardware store!

[@Austin_99162]

Oh I wish you would please take some moments to explain in more detail, like what kind of paint is in the big can, is it house paint?.Latex? The things that are obvious to you are not to everyone! It would help to just clearly show and name the products. Also you mentioned adding cornflower but what is it, do you mean cornstarch? Cornmeal? Sorry I am frustrated but details make the difference to millions of beginners- wthout them we just give up

[@phoebedoeseverything]

Thanks for the feedback! It was all internal house paint! I don’t know a whole lot about cornflour but I think it’s the same as cornstarch, but not 100% sure. I hope that helps!

[@fritula6200]

Cornflour is an Australian & English version. Cornstarch is American version. BOTH ARE THE SAME THING:
