So I looked at my options from Lowes and found a board that was 24"x48". It was only $5, so I had them cut it in half and took it home!
First I sanded the edges with my Dremel to smooth them down.
I used my free Valspar paint samples to paint the board.
It was gorgeous outside so I worked on the back porch!
I found images I liked on Google, then printed them on cardstock. I used my exacto knife to cut them out.
***Do not cut on your carpet!! It WILL cut through it! (Not that I've done this...)***
Here they are ready to be used. I chose a bird and a frog!
For the white I used the leftover paint from my desk bookcase and my student desk. I used my foam brush and kind of smushed the white paint on. Some of it leaked under, but I wasn't going for perfection.
After I
I was going to nail hanging brackets on the back, but the nail was too long. Because the board is so light weight, I just hot glued the brackets. Hopefully they won't fall and slam into my face one day.
And here they are in my office!
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteTurned out way cute! Love those colors :) One thing you could do to tone down that white is just mix a tiny bit of black into the paint to give it a more antiqued look- or you antiquing glaze to wipe over it once it's dry. But I think it looks great as is- very contemporary! Thanks for your comment on my table! I'm glad I found your blog :)

ReplyDeleteLove the advice about cutting on carpet. Don't trace something with a Sharpie on your white sofa either thinking that you will be really really careful...
not that I've done that and marked my sofa...
