I told you yesterday I was working on a little painting project...

here it is!

I took a piece of unusable flooring from our shop -- leftovers from our renos, and the tongue was wrecked, so it was garbage....

 Cut it down to size, sanded it really well,

 and primed it with a grey tinted primer. I wanted a grey undercoat, so this served a double purpose!

 Today I dry brushed some white paint on top until it was the colour I was looking for.

When that was dry I roughed up the edges, sponged a very thin layer of brown over top so it wasn't quite as bright white anymore, chucked the keys on it a few times to create nicks in the paint, and this is what it looks like now!

 I picked up some wall decal sayings in the states for a DOLLAR a piece!

This was my favourite one, and I wanted more than just a little saying stuck on my wall somewhere.

I think this one will do the trick...
Now to figure out how -- and where -- to hang it!

ANNNNDDDDD........
since anyone who knows me also knows I can't leave well enough alone...
 I HAD to add some shading on the edge!
The big board was bugging me.
It looked too big.
Now I am all done.
I think.
LOL
