I LOVE wood signs and wood projects. I am always drawn to any pictures of them I can find. I have a wood crafts board on Pinterest to help spark ideas.
At the beginning of the summer I started painting my dining room from the tannish color that was on the walls when we moved in to a light yellow. It's so fresh and fun! I LOVE the change! I've wanted to have a kind of rustic looking wood sign in my dining room and now with my new dining room - it was the perfect time to work on it.
I thought long and hard about what I wanted it to say and one day it came to me - the perfect thing for OUR family was this...
Grub it down is phrase that my husband has used ever since I first met him 16 years ago! If I would say, "I'm hungry" he might say, "Grub it down!" So lately our kids have picked it up. It's so cute to hear them say Grub It Down! So I knew that had to be our sign. I love that it is so personal to us.
So hubby got some wood, cut it down and nailed it together for me. Isn't he sweet? We're such a good team that way! Then I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut stencils out of contact paper and painted away!! When I finished painting I sanded over it a little bit to make it look more distressed and then sprayed a clear Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Sealer.
It looks so cute in our dining room. Here are a couple of views of it.
Sorry for the hanging light in the middle of the picture but there is no way to get a wide view of the sign without it there!
We love looking up at our Grub It Down Sign when we sit down to eat family dinner!
