Inspired Sign!

I have this blog to, not only show you transformations,


But to INSPIRE you!


Because YOU can do it too!


Recently, I was inspired by Claire at The Rustic Pig with her ironing board Welcome sign.

All I really needed was an old ironing board. So I patiently waited for one to come across my path.

GOD always provides!

This was a really quick and simple project with a WOW result. I simply cleaned and then painted the ironing board black. I used my Silhouette machine to cut out letters for the word. I wanted the letters to look like they were written in chalk, so I used a font that would be easy to paint with a single brush stroke and with a rather dry paintbrush.

When the paint was dry, I brushed on a coat of sealer and added a green burlap bow.

And staged the picture with volunteer snap dragons left by the birds in an old enameled pot my son gave me the last time I was visiting him.
