Since I had pallet boards left over from other projects, I decided to let nothing go to waste and made wall decor for our office.

First I cut the boards so they would be about the same length.  Then to connect all the boards, I screwed a board lengthwise to the back.

I wanted the wood to show through so I whitewashed the boards.  To do this, dilute ivory paint with water until you are satisfied with the consistency (I had an extra piece of wood to practice on). Then brush on a few coats to get your desired coverage.

For the lettering I made stencils by printing the letters I needed on cardstock and carefully cutting them out.

Now all I had to do was trace the letters on the boards and fill in with gray and red paint.

Then I brushed on a little more whitewash to distress the lettering a little.

  1. Good morning,

    My name is Sara and I have a blog in Spain; the name is www.miamandarinablog.wordpress.com
    Every week I realice a revision of some of the shops in Etsy that I love more to show to my followers.

    This week I did the special Valentine's Day week and I select some products of your shop, using some of your products, and of course I put a link to your web, just in case some of my followers want to buy it.

    You can find the post in:

    (sorry, is only in Spanish)

    I think that is beneficial for you as it is publicity, but If you have any problem to appear in our blog do not hesitate to contact us; we will retire immediately the part of the post that concern our shop.

    Thank you in advance, and have a good day.

    PD: I also put advertisements of the blog today in our social networks (see the links below)
