While my mom was visiting a couple of weeks ago, we planned an outing for the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I woke up, excited to try a 'grown-up' outing with August, but was met by a truly rainy, overcast day. Bummer.
Rather than just sit at home and bemoan the weather gods, we decided to whip up a quick piece of wall art. I pinned this saying a couple of weeks ago, and knew I could paint it in about 10 minutes for August's nursery.
To make this wall art, you'll need to follow these incredibly detailed and precise instructions:
1. Find blank canvas in basement and unwrap it.
2. Pour some leftover chalkboard paint onto a paper plate.
3. Trace saying in pencil on canvas to make sure it fits.
4. Paint over pencil with said paint and thin-ish brush.
5. Wait to dry.
6. Hang with thumb tacks.
It couldn't be easier. What saying would you put on your walls?
OMG!!! You know how nuts I am about sayings. I'd have one on every wall but my favorite is the one in the kitchen -- remember it? "If you're lucky enough to live by the water, you're lucky enough." Great way to spend a rainy day!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the saying etched in your kitchen! It's the perfect saying for the perfect waterside house :) xo
DeleteI have two favorites: "Let it go", and "You are far bigger than anything that can happen to you". (That last one was on a magnet that I got from GINC years and years and years ago--still on my fridge now!)
ReplyDeleteI also like "Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."", but I think I'd need a pretty big canvas :)
They're all so motivating, Haley- I love that!
ReplyDeleteRemember when we had "The journey is the reward" in our kitchen - still have a plague in the guest room that says that. Let's have fun along the way!!
