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.

Similar vessels to what I used:

I just found your channel& I'm glad I did.
I've had a lot of Challenges over the last several years - starting with stage 4 head & neck Cancer, major surgery cut up my mouth, the matastised to my neck & 2nd major surgery Sep 11 2006 they slit my throat. Anyways, I've been suffering from major depression. A few weeks ago I started watching crafting videos. My style is kinda modern farmhouse mixed with girly French country.
So I wanted to try my hand at the jugs.
I just found your channel about an hour ago! It's great - I like your let's just try this attitude - the foam sink qas a surprise, I didn't know u could shave the foam like that!!
Ready to watch more!

The expanding foam that ate the sink 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.

You are such a joy to watch! I find myself totally engulfed in you and your projects! Very glad I found you these are my fav things to do in the creating world!❤❤❤❤❤

[sandracross]

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.

Chimney pipes… make the base of a birdbath . Epoxy a large shallow plant saucer to the top!

You’re very creative! I’ve watched a ton of these vessel DIY videos and yours is the most inventive.

the stone on the mantle is my favorite

[carmenacevedi]

Thank you for sharing. I LIKED THE Long base it looks pretty

[erikafroehlich]

Very cool! My favourite is the piece you did for the mantle ❤

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

[kaitd]

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❤

I love your, "that'll do" attitude. Can't wait to try these myself. Looking forward to part 2!!

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.

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!

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

[emmapoe]

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.❤

[DavidOwenCreates]

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!

[MsJet]

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