[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.
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?
That is why this lovely bulletin board was half off. And look at the awesome frame. It wide and detailed. Perfect for my taste.
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.
Taking my time to get the look I wanted, I stenciled using Antique Gray. Looking good so far, right?
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.
I love this pattern and the look of my DIY 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.
