Saw it, Pinned it and Did it! 

I have been eye-ing a Laundry sign at TJ Maxx. It was on canvas, $12 bucks and I couldn't get myself to buy it. El Cheapo, I know. I saw this on Pinterest and decided to go for it.

So I went to Michael's and bought my own wood sign. It was $3.99 and I had a 40% off coupon. 

I may or may not have been crafting on a Fredrick's Catalog. I cropped as much as I could.

 First I painted it with some teal paint. Super light with the paint brush making sure not to saturate the wood.

 

 

Then I stenciled the word "LAUNDRY" on it and colored it in with a sharpie. *Sorry I forgot to take a pic, pre-sharpied. I was on a roll. 

I then sanded off the bright finish of marker.

Lastly, I rag stained it with Minwax English Chestnut, to give it that old dingy (dinjē)
look.

Saw it, Pinned it, Did it!!!

This will be hung down stairs in my laundry area, obviously :)
