Painted Wall Art

My dining room has new wall art.

When the painted dresser was moved in, these vases were moved out {one had been broken by a misplaced basketball} and the space looked a bit empty.  I made a simple piece of art {using supplies I already had} to fill the void.


Since I was going for a rustic look {and not wanting to buy anything for the project}, I used a piece of plywood and painted it brown, then painted some green paint sparsely over one area.


I printed a verse I wanted {from a song I love} with my Silhouette and applied the letter to the board ...


... then painted the board with yellow paint {all the paint in this project came from old paint samples}.


The yellow was a bit brighter than I wanted so I painted over it lightly with a white wash.  It toned it down perfectly.


The sign is rustic looking but I really like it ... it adds a nice bit of color and texture to the room.
