Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a great weekend.
I was busy working on finishing up my other Ikea bookcase and making this new sign!
I really like it.
Whadda ya think?
I've seen signs like this around blogland and from fleamarket style's header
in particular. I've wanted to make one for a while now and finally took the plunge. There's no stopping me now. I've got big plans for other signs!

I was thinking of placing it above the cupboards here. The wallpaper will eventually be removed and...I'm going to start painting my cupboards in the spring. A big job and I'm hoping the whole family will get involved!
This is a close up of the sign, you can see where I distressed it to make it look a little more vintage.
Here is the other bookcase just finished.
I'm still in the midst of dressing these shelves.
I got these little wire baskets from homesense and added a little bit of paint to anitque them a bit.
They're great for holding magazines.
Here is my sign again on the sofa.(Can you tell I like this sign? I just carry it around the house with me! Lol)
I've got some ideas for other signs and will keep you posted.
Blessings on you all and thanks for stopping by!

Your sign looks great!! Will you be posting a tutorial? Pretty please...
ReplyDeleteKimberely love your sign. I recently did a post about signs too - they're everywhere now and so easy. I know what you mean when you want to make more. Are you planning to trim off some of the edges? I think that would make the lettering more prominent. Love how it's all coming together with the shelves.
ReplyDeleteoh it's beautiful! I, too, have been wanting to make some of those signs. i have a few pieces of wood. i need to get painting already! Yours turned out gorgeous! TFS!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Kim I LOVE it!!!!!!!! You did an awesome job,I want it! Hey,I just bought that very same wire basket at Homesense today,I got the small $10 one ...I love it!!! x0x0

ReplyDeleteYOu did a great job on the sign. Love it. Have you made many signs?
ReplyDeleteIt will look nice above the cabinets.
I want to paint my cabinets one day too...not sure it will be Spring.
I'll try to look out for your cabinet transformation come Spring.

ReplyDeleteI am interested in the IKEA bookshelves. Is that the Billy? Was it difficult to put together? I have been blogging about this like crazy!!
Great job, Kim!
XO,
Jane
this is getting crazy now...i have the same sign...copied from the same junk market photo!
ReplyDeleteMy girls helped me with mine. I drew the letters and they colored it in with a black sharpie, talk about rustic. I love it & yours too. great job.

Awesome!! We need a tutorial so we can make one for ourselves! Pretty please......gorgeous home!
ReplyDeleteYour sign is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have dated oak cabinets in my kitchen and would LOVE to paint them. There is no way my husband will agree to it. I am working right now on trying to get him to let me paint my fireplace. He is kind of funny about painting things like this. My hope is to paint the fireplace in the spring.
I have de-wallpapered every room in my house. That was a job that took like what seemed forever to do, but was thankful when it was all done.
Your kitchen will be gorgeous when done. You are such a talented lady!!!
Love the sign! Aren't they fun and addicting!!! :) I love your other shelf too, so pretty and those baskets are great!! Have fun sign making!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think your sign is lovely! It is perfectly weathered. :)
ReplyDeleteKimberley ... it's beautiful and nicely weathered. How did you do it ... did you freehand the letters, or use a projector? We need a tutorial .... Thx.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your sign.. how did you distress it and what kind of stencils did you use? Love it!

Hi, You left a comment on my pink painted bookshelves. I came over and was checking your blog out and I see you have wallpaper in a pretty blue damask on your shelves. That is something that is very appealing to me, do you like it or find it hard to accessorize with a pattern like that?
