Before I head of for a weekend getaway with my hubby I thought I would share with you my latest project. I have this massive entertainment unit (which I will share with you once the crown molding is done) and it has a lot of shelves to fill. So I decided to create these Family & Love Blocks to put on it.
Notice the faux books and the fantastic green apple behind them, I just found them last night at home sense.
I started with these 2x4's that I cut down to different sizes, and gave each one of them two coats of paint.
Once they were all dry I sanded the corners and edges but decided that the colors were to bright so I painted over them with a watered down brown paint to darken the edges and the colors.
I brought out the good old vinyl machine and made stencils for each block and stenciled them on in a white paint.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
