i hart my husband
For my husbands 40th Birthday I made (with help) him a vintage looking subway sign. I originally got the idea from Pottery Barn then I saw a diy version here http://www.younghouselove.com/2010/01/show-me-a-sign/
So with the great help from my sister (who is good at illustrator) and my cousin( who owns a printing company)..............they made me this! It's a collection of places that have special meaning to my husband and I but in a subway sign style.
So I measured wood and had Lowes cut it down to size for me. Then I glued the back to the wood and mod podge'd the paper to the wood. (It's in the drying phase right here)
Voila! A personalized gift for the man I love! Oh and that creepy coconut shell that looks like a skull.......it's from Brazil and is supposed to bring good luck.
Here is another view. It is hung in our dressing room.

i hart bargains
Scored these items at home goods on the clearance rack. I think I did good considering they are in perfect condition. Not sure where they will go just yet. $5 each for a vase and two flour de les pillars.
