DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board

October 8, 2013 By Meegan 12 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’4254′] Do you ever have one of those shopping days that just go your way??  I seem to have that a lot lately.  It is pretty fun, I must admit.  I found a bulletin board at Home Goods for 50% off.  Yahoo!  I thought it would be fun to paint her up and make her my own.  I am excited to share my new DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board with you today.

Using a plain bulletin board I painted, stenciled, and customized it just for us.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board Yep, this is how I found her.  Those red or orange tags catch my eye every time.  How about you??  Do you see those scratches at the top?

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board That is why this lovely bulletin board was half off.  And look at the awesome frame.  It wide and detailed.  Perfect for my taste.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board I started using flat white paint, then went over it loosely with Antique Gray from Ace Hardware.

Looking through my stencils, I found one that would be just the right touch for our office style.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board Taking my time to get the look I wanted, I stenciled using Antique Gray.  Looking good so far, right?

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board Once the paint was dry around the frame, I sanded the edges, for an aged and vintage feel.

Not only did I sand the frame, but I also sanded my stencils and the whole cork board.  It adds to the vintage and worn look.  Just what I was hoping for.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board I love this pattern and the look of my DIY Bulletin Board.

DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board Thanks Home Goods for the 50% off bulletin board that I now can call my own design.

This DIY Stenciled Bulletin Board is going to fit perfectly in our office.

Thank you for joining me today.  I truly love having you here with me each day.

Make it a terrific Tuesday.

No sooner do I pour it into a 8×8 dish, and it is gone! I am sure it will be the same for your family, as well.

My Lemon Truffle Chocolate Cake

August 20, 2013 By Meegan 9 Comments

I want to say it must have been about 25 yrs ago, I was watching Martha, yes THE Martha Stewart. She made a lemon cake with chocolate frosting. It looked so delish and inspired me to make my lemon truffle chocolate cake.  Why do I call it a truffle cake?  Because the flavors remind me of a See’s Candy lemon truffle.

Have you had a lemon truffle from Sees candy? If not, this cake recipe will give a sample of the flavorful candy.
