First—let me just start by saying you know when blogging has made an impact on you by the friends you’ve made- when you ‘google’ - PRIVATE BATH SIGNS- and this pops up on Google images and you know who the bathroom belongs to without ever being IN THAT BATHROOM.
Crazy!
It belongs to Lezlee at Priorlives -- she was recently awarded a Best of HOUZZ 2012 for her TREE HOUSE…be sure and hop over there and congratulate her. If you don’t know her—take a look around…She is full of fabulous junk ideas! Not to mention a sweet fun loving kind of gal. We don’t live very far from each other—we’ve had lunch and we run into each other around town. But I feel like I’ve known her a life time!
Now on with the SIGN-- I got the itch to paint something the other day…and after finding a scrap piece of very thin plywood stuffed in a corner of the front bedroom while cleaning and searching the WWW for inspiration —I just decided to do it!
It’s not perfect - but I like it. I used a stencil (my stencil is sort of small) for the lettering and a paint pen. I also used the paint pen to draw the white lines… because this happened…
First I painted the green.
Then I used painter’s tape—probably old painter’s tape.
brushed on the black. DIY chalk paint.
Pulled the tape off and… ~ ICK!
Paint pens are wonderful.
I think I might hit it with a piece of sandpaper to roughen it up a bit.
Then I’ll hang it.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
~Philippians 4:23

I think you did a wonderful job here!
I love your bath sign Pat! You did a great job. Enjoy your weekend, Gail
Love your bath sign! And the wavy lines make it look more rustic and hand made. I like things that way. Thanks for sharing.
I love your sign! I too am wanting to put some signs in the house but I just need to get my butt motivated enough to start it.. I think it looks great! :)

You know I think the jagged edges from the tape look okay, but understand you wanting to even them out. I say sand. It's my latest thing - I will sand anything these days. Ann
Great sign Pat! I think I would have left the funny lines from the painter's tape. :)
