Rue de whatever

Is it really Monday again already? 

I haven't been doing much the past few days, other than being miserable and trying to recover from a summer cold. 

I realized that I never showed you the photos of the French road sign I did back in May...these are just the raw photos, not edited since 1) I don't have time right now, and 2) I didn't like the way it turned out so I've already painted over it.






I was pretty happy with it up until I added the white arrow. I was going for 'rustic' so I just freehanded that part instead of lining it up with pencil first - but I really hated the way it looked! I got frustrated and threw it behind a pile of stuff in the garage so I couldn't see it.

I found it again yesterday and decided it needed a fresh start. I don't know yet exactly what I'm going to do with it next, but I put a coat of fresh gray (Comfort Gray by SW) - I'm thinking something beachy.

I've got to dash out the door for work now, but I have some cool yard sale finds to share later this week. Have a good one, girls!

  2. Looking forward to seeing what you got at the yard sales and what you do with that sign. I agree about the arrow, but think it is a great sign. Ann
