I realized after I took the picture and loaded it into this post
that our English pine chest is completely off center...
I did move the chest into it's rightful place, but I didn't take another picture.
This is my attempt at working on my perfectionism.

And one more thing. When I say "we" in this post, I really mean my husband. The idea was mine...he pretty much did everything else. :)
I posted a couple of months ago about this sign that I saw over at Lissa's beautiful blog, Humble Pie. I love so many things about her home, and this sign that she bought was one of my absolute favorites! I asked my husband if he would try to make it, and this is our version.

AWESOME job!! I love the look of those signs and you recreated them beautifully!! :)

I've seen Lissa's painting in person and I have to say you NAILED it! That is really very impressive. If I lived close I just might have had you make me one. That sounds really hard to me
ReplyDeleteThanks for the diy info! I've wanted one ever since I saw them in the PB catalogue but refused to pay their prices. I never thought before about using different words - I think I may make a special one for father's day.
ReplyDeleteYour turned out great - just hope mine does! :)
Have a great great day!

I love it!! I wish I had the time to make one...very impressive :)

I've always said that you and Andy are a great team!!!! Love it, hoping to show it to Kevin tonight and hoping he says "no problem", or I will be begging for one on my 4oth!!! Just sayin' :]

Love this, love that you shared the process and love that you didn't retake the picture...you are a girl after my own heart ;).
ReplyDeleteFabulous job! I may have to put that on my list of things to make! Thanks for sharing the specifics.

ReplyDeleteThis sign is fantastic! I would love to try to make this! ANd YAY for you for not taking another picture. One time I took a picture of my foyer table and after I posted it I saw a BIG dust bunny on my stairway, LOL! LOvely! Must worse than being off center. And you know what? I left the picture, because that's real life, LOL! :)
