A Couple of Signs

It's Tuesday!  How are you?  Things are well on this end....

I am in love with signs...They can add a fun and whimsical look to any room.  I attempted to create a few of my own.  I found these boards at a garage sale for a couple of cents each.

 

I decided to make a "Laundry" sign and a phrase from one of my fave songs, "You are my sunshine."  For the laundry sign I primed it with Kilz, then painted it with a bright yellow, cut out the letters with my cricut machine using contact paper, placed the letters onto the sign and then painted the entire board with white paint.  I then removed the letters and then let the sign dry.  Lastly, I rubbed stain around the edges to give it a more aged look.  Here she is....

For the next sign I primed it and painted it in the same yellow.  After it dried I created a stencil using my cricut machine for the phrase.  I stenciled it in gray paint and then took my palm sander and roughed up the entire board.  Lastly, I rubbed a coat of stain on it to give it more dimension.  Here she is....

I had so much fun making these!  I have a couple more boards left so I'm off to pinterest to gather a few more inspiring quotes or powerful words.

I hope you have a great day!!  Thanks for reading!!!
