You Are Loved Sign

I found the black paint last night, so I was able to get my latest awesome project done.  Wouldn't you know the paint was exactly where I thought it was. So here it is.  


I am pretty glad that I totally love it.  It was one of those projects where I was at Home Depot, with all the kids, and I thought to myself "I need more stuff on the walls in the family room."  Then I saw wood fence boards and thought "Those are cheap, I could make them into something."  So 8 pieces of fence (and a whole lot of changing my mind on what to do with them) later I have this.


I feel like it really warms up the corner and improves visual flow without making it cluttered.  Although I could be totally making that up... What do I know.



Mostly I am super happy with what I finally decided to put on it.  At first I was going to hang it the other way and write family on it.  Then I decided to put it in the corner and turn it the the way it is now.  I had about 100 different ideas of what to write on it.  Finally I thought..."well what is simple that I would want my children to always remember?"  So I settled on "you are loved...always."


Hopefully they will see that everyday and remember that they are loved and that they should always show their love for others.   And there will always be peace and brotherly love in our home.

A mom can dream can't she???

  80. just saw this through Pinterest. Can you tell me how you put the boards together? Also the details on how you made it? I LOVE it and would like to make one for my friend for her birthday. How did you get the lettering on it? Joy :0)

    ReplyDelete

  81. I LOVE THIS!!! And want to recreate... How did you do the lettering? If it was stencils, how do you keep it from bleeding? Your letters looked perfect!

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

  82. Are there plans for a tutorial on this? How did you get the boards to stay together and where did u get the distressed fence boards? This is awesome!

    ReplyDelete

  83. This sign is so great and I love that it is on wood. I love anything dealing with wood. I think it instantly warms up the place and gives a texture like no other.

  88. Did you use stencil for the lettering or free hand it??? It looks so perfect and I have a horrible handwriting. Wondering how to get it like your's???? Loveeeeee it!!!!

    ReplyDelete

  89. Did you paint the wood? If so what did you use?

    ReplyDelete

    1. I did paint the wood. I used a watered down Behr Swans Wing White paint. You can kinda play around with how much you water it down to get the effect you want.

  90. This is soooo cute! I am going to make one for our nursery. This is a perfect starting point for us. Can I as the dimensions of the final product? Thanks - Jessie

    ReplyDelete

  91. I really like this idea. Anyway you could post a step-by-step for how you pulled it off? How did you get the wood together, and the white paint looks old but not?

    ReplyDelete

  92. This is so simple but beautiful. We are replacing our back fence soon so I have a feeling I'll be putting a few of those old boards to good use.

    ReplyDelete

  93. I'm a little late but I love it! Tell me where you get the stencils from?

    ReplyDelete

  99. I saw this on pinterest and made one for my daughter's nursery. 11 more days till her due date. Thank you so much for the inspiration! Kelly

  100. The Five Rules Of Youtube: Requiem for A Dream Soundtrack is a Must.
    It would be interesting to note just how many videos on You - Tube have less than 500
    views. Naturally you'll need an account setup with Skype already before using this app, and if you're planning
    to call telephones with it you'll also need to add credit to your account.

  106. May I simply say what a comfort to uncover somebody who
    genuinely understands what they are talking about on the net.
    You definitely understand how to bring a problem to light
    and make it important. More and more people must read this and
    understand this side of your story. I can't believe you're
    not more popular because you most certainly have the
    gift.
