#domesticated

Soooo sometimes I act like I'm super domestic and I create things. My mom bought a silhouette a while back so I've been experimenting with vinyl lettering! Thennnn my friend Kasse got married Saturday and wanted a sign that had this quote on it. I had seen one on pinterest that was red and pink, and that's where my inspiration for this came ... I just really didn't want the one for kasse to look so Valentine's day-ish.

Sooo, I went to the local ReStore (my favorite place) and found an old wood cupboard for $1. It had stains on it and was kinda gross, so I went home and sanded off all of the white on the backside. I decided to be brave and attempt to distress the front with sandpaper and I'd say it turned out quite nice.

I didnt get to use the silhouette to cut out the letters... But the silhouette is home in California. Soooo I designed the lettering on picmonkey, a free website, mirror-imaged it in Google's Picasa, and then printed it on some $2 gray contact paper I found at Walmart. Then I cut out each of the letters, put them on the board how I liked them, added some twine and some hearts from a 12 pack of hearts I found for $3 at the ReStore as well, and waaaaalaa! Here you have it! A super cute sign for less than $4!
