Day #2: Wine words

Seven days of scraps project #2: Wine words



I've had this empty space in my kitchen that's been bothering me for quite a while. Not bothering me enough to go out and buy something to fill it, but I decided it was time to fill it.
Here's a before shot-



I found a 1x12 chunk of scrap wood in my pile and decided to make a sign similar to subway art. My kitchen is decorated in wine/corks and red, so I decided to stick with my theme and make a sign with wine types on it.

I cut my 1x12 to 24 inches long and painted it Rustoleum Ivory Bisque. Well not officially Ivory Bisque, I love the spray paint, and it matches my trim/walls almost perfectly, so I went to lovely Hawaii Hardware and had them match it and make me a quart so I didn't always have to resort to spraying. I painted it with this mix.



While it was drying, I cut different wine words out of vinyl with my (new!) Silhouette Cameo, and stuck them on my sign.

Then I painted over the whole thing with a deep red/burgundy, waited for it to dry and then peeled off the vinyl. Voila! Doesn't that look so much better?
