My Latest Sign Creations

Sorry I have been out of the blogging world for over 2 months. Life happens and being a Mom to 3 comes before anything else. I've continued making signs over the past few months and thought I'd share them with you here finally.

More new designs in the works that I will share with you shortly.

A Sweet Sign

After moving the TV to my gray buffet, I need something to go on the wall above it. The wall was screaming for a handmade sign. Earlier this year when I built my rustic shelves, I had originally envisioned 4 shelves but only 3 made the cut. So I've had this extra stained board lying around the garage just waiting for inspiration to strike.

I decided to use the board since it was the perfect size to fit over the TV. I created a Home Sweet Home stencil using my Silhouette machine and then painting it with acrylic paint. I then distressed it to give it a worn, rustic appearance.

Here's the sign before being distressed. Don't mind the random feet in the picture.

Here it is above the TV. It fits perfectly in the space.

I added a painting that was my Grandma's to the help fill in the space next to it. Don't mind the random dog bone. :)

What do you think? I love the look of the stained wood with painted words. I haven't done this kind of sign before but I see a lot more in my future.

Vintage Art Finds

I am a little obsessed with vintage art. I love bird prints and floral prints especially. I love aged patina on the prints and frames. I just overall love the look. I usually hit of thrift stores and garage sales looking for pieces to fit into my collection. Two weeks ago, a friend and I hit up a flea market and I scored 2 more pieces for my collection so of course I decided to create a gallery wall out of my finds.

I love the aged look and the how all the colors play off of each other. I need a bigger wall so I can add to my collection!
