A New Sign

10/08/2012 By Bre

8 Oct
I know I just recently showed you a sign I made 
celebrating our anniversary,
that now hangs in our room,
BUT
I made another one.
I actually have quite a few on the list of signs to make, 
and if you follow me on Facebook, 
you’ve already gotten a sneak peak.
I’m excited to finally share it with you!
Once we finished adding more board & batten,
the space needed something different.
This is what we had before:
I was never really settled with this, but it worked in the meantime,
because the thought of a blank wall,
would drive me nuts!

I grabbed some extra pallet boards and had the hubby secure them together for me.
I stained the boards, and then painted on the lyrics,
“You put your arms around me and I’m HOME”
by: Christina Perri
I always loved those lyrics, and it was a no brainer
to want to make a sign with them.

Once I was finished painting, I ran my sander over the entire thing
to rough things up a bit, it’s kinda hard to see in the photos,
but I just wanted a little gentle wear and tear ๐Ÿ™‚
I also did a few other little updates.
I added a new duvet cover,
just to bring in some navy blue to our room, that I’ve used 
through out the rest of our house.
I added some baskets to our night stands,
to clean things up a bit.
And make them look a little more tidy,
hiding stacks of magazines,
and other loose leaf papers that end up next to the bed.

I still have big plans for our master bedroom,
but for now I’m happy with the updates and small changes made.
Just what I needed to freshen things up.
But I’m most happy with how the latest sign came out.
Happy Monday!

    You have a lovely home! I was looking around and came across your mantle post. I would love to know about the wooden plank you made. I need something like that over my mantle but don’t have a clue how you came up with yours. I have a stone fireplace and I think a wooden plank would look great.
