New Living Room Art!

Yay! I have had my eye on this project for a long time and finally got to do it! 

The beautiful thing about being a teacher is getting summers off, don't let anyone ever complain about that! Yes we still have to go to staff development and work in our rooms to get ready for the next year but you still have a beautiful amount of time to work on projects, oh yeah, and hang out with your children :)

I saw this on Pinterest, I think I actually think it's one of the first things I ever pinned, aww.

I fell in love with the look and the words, they are actually the lyrics to an Ingrid Michaelson song. (I may or may not have spelled her name wrong, sorry Ingrid)

The link to the original project is here. Me Oh My... It's a super fun blog with lots of cute stuff, I highly recommend browsing through it!

So I had this awkward spot in my living room and wasn't sure what to put there and then it came to me... a big plank of wood with something cute painted on it...

There's my plank of wood... It took forever for me to actually stain it, and of course I took pictures because it was the first thing I ever stained, and I think I did a pretty good job

I don't remember the brand but I do remember the color was ebony. It actually stayed in my living room just stained for a long time, I think it looks pretty :)

But I finally put a good movie on and plopped down in the floor and started painting the words to the fun little song.

Oh yeah and it looks awesome with my new lamps! I love my new lamps, I went to Home Goods for the first time this summer and scored them for an awesome price! 

I am thinking of doing a booth at the First Saturday show at the Chicken Farm Art Center in August, trying to make some extra money and get my 'business' started... I feel like a child with a lemonade stand when I saw my 'business', I have no 'business' I make no money, lol. One day...

Anyways, I really enjoyed making this and thought about doing some smaller ones, that could hang on a wall or sit on a table/dresser with sweet sayings, verses, something...
