I finally pulled out my Silhouette Portrait over the weekend to complete this little project I've been planning for weeks now.
I found this old chalkboard at Goodwill for $2.99 and placed it above my kitchen cabinets behind this shabby rooster and a chicken wire egg-basket.
(No, my walls really aren't this color.... it's the camera.....)
My original plan was to paint the word "EGGS" on the chalkboard but as a last minute change, I decided on
"Old Rooster Coffee Co."
I got out my Silhouette Portrait and laid out my letters like this......
and cut my stencil on heavy cardstock.
I then lined up my stencils on the chalkboard and used an off white craft paint that I had on hand to create the sign.
When I pulled the paper off - I was left with this cute little sign.....
I love it! And I especially love the $2.99 price tag.....
What do you think?
Sharing the love at these great parties!
Love Love Love this...wow....lucky find at the Goodwill!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a fabulous chalkboard and you found the perfect use for it! I love the way you arranged things above your cabinets. I wish you were here to help me. I've barely started to put a few things above mine and I never know if I have the right balance! You are good my friend! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO sweet! It no longer looks like this up there.... I change things around A LOT!!! Years ago I remember wathcing Nate Berkus on Oprah (which is when I fell madly in love with him.....) and he said always decorate in groups of 3's or 5's (unless you are going for a completely symmetrical look) and it stuck... Objects just look better grouped in odd numbers!
DeleteNow that's cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz! And thanks for stopping by!
DeleteVery cute ... and you can't beat that price!
