The Hearts Have It

This past weekend was busy.  The boys are all still baseball, baseball, baseball even though the season was over weeks ago.  Now they have a special “Sunday” program to keep them in it and learning for next season.  I’m so over it I can hardly stand it but it makes all three of my boys happy so, whatever! Any who, it was also my daughter’s 8th birthday party. She had a simple yet lovely little party and will share a few details later.  What I was wanting to share now was the project I fit in amongst all the commotion of the weekend.  My two lovely new heart signs. I think when it comes to these signs the ‘hearts really do have it!’

Meet sign #1

They are made from repurposing the wall paneling that came out of our kitchen.  Before I made the signs, I sanded down the wood really well so it was nice and smooth and then added a dark walnut stain.  Next, I applied two coats of polyurethane to seal and protect the wood.  After I painted the sign, I sanded it a little to give it a distressed look.

I think my favorite is the yellow heart but I could really see the multi heart one in the girls room. 

So that’s it. Thanks for stopping by and if you liked what you saw I would really, really, really love for you to share it. Thanks so much! xo
