pallet sign

I found this awesome tutorial 

for painting signs...

and had to try it on some pallet pieces~

simply print out the letters in a cute font...

the tutorial said to color in charcoal on the back 

and then trace over the top on your wood

then the image would transfer~however,

I used the rough side of the wood

and had to cut out the letters and trace them

actually onto the wood...

then you can use a Sharpie to trace and color in 

the words...

I became impatient with the Sharpie...

then used another marker,

followed by a few coats of paint

to get the color right

then I dappled on some white paint

to give it a little texture,

and sanded over the top a bit...

whallaaa, cuteness in the kids' bathroom! 

here's a peak at the pain-in-the-behind

shower curtain I stitched up (an Anthro knock-off)...

I'm still struggling with a paint color or wallpaper for 

the walls...what to do???

I picked up a darling stencil pattern, 

but I am not sure if I want to dive into 

that commitment on all surfaces or not....

this bathroom and our laundry room

are still awaiting a paint job. 

it's on my summer to-do list...

I'm leaning towards a sea green or gray in this 

bathroom (maybe with the stencil maybe not?)
