I made myself a promise that the front porch makeover was going to be a very frugal one. We still need windows and french doors and bathroom redo's and ........and...........and.
I've kept to my word ( I'll show you it soon - still some painting that needs to be done )

I had almost everything I needed..................including art work and furniture- already on hand.
We only needed to buy baseboards and window trim -

( sometimes being a semi hoarder really works in one's favor )
A while back I ordered this on Amazon - well one larger one actually ( but now I want this pack of them also for outside art work LOL )
I dug it out of my stash and made a couple of signs out of it................
A bit of paint to dry brush it with ( I used ASCP chalk paint for the white - but any paint will do - this is a really small and quick project ) stencils and my sharpie - and I have a rustic - shabby sign for under 10.00 !
And the best part is that you can create TWO signs out of one slice of wood.-
I reversed it and reversed the paint and letter colors as well
And that's because I've developed a split personality since menopause.
I think all the great artists should have done this actually - Picasso - Monet - Van Gogh - they should have all made 2 sided art.
First of all your investment would be worth double................and secondly you could just turn it over when you got bored with it or changed your decor.
And yes - I WOULD get bored..............even with s painting worth a million dollars.
I'm very uncivilised like that.
I'll also hang this up
and probably this
John says - It's too much
John says - It's like walking into a Thesaurus
Who says that?
Really - who S.A.Y.S thesaurus?
Suzan says - Why can't you just call it a dictionary ?
John says - That's why I had to move here - you colonists have so much to learn.
Suzan says - Listen buddy - when you immigrate you have to conform.
John says - I didn't " immigrate " - I was sent to educate the colonists.
Anyway I can't help it - I LOVE words..................even in enclosed porches :)
One sign - 2 works of art - for under 10.00 ( did I already mention that? )
It's only words.....................( which can be found in any thesaurus )
But words are all I have to steal your heart away.
Have a wonderful one !
Hugs,
Me
