#PROJECTdecor:: DIY White Washed Wood Sign

It all began with a vision for a special sign I was creating for a Pink Pony-themed party—a project I’ll share more details about soon. My toddler was happily seated in the shopping cart at Home Depot as we wandered through the aisles of paint and lumber. Spotting two 2x4 wooden planks, we headed over to the cutting station. On this particular day, I was dressed up in a sundress and had a touch of makeup on, which surprisingly earned me smiles and quick service from the staff. They cheerfully sliced the boards in half for me, making this one of my fastest trips through Home Depot ever. Back home, I paired the cut pieces with some scrap wood we had lying around and attached them securely to the back of the planks using screws. Voila! A rustic wooden sign was born. It stood proudly on my mantel for a few weeks in its natural state, and honestly, I didn’t mind it like that at all. As I planned to keep the sign for my home even after the party, I decided against anything overly themed, like ponies. Instead, I settled on the timeless word "Celebrate," which felt versatile enough to fit any occasion. After choosing a font I loved, I printed out the letters on cardstock, cut them out carefully, and arranged them on the sign. Using a glue stick, I secured them in place exactly where I wanted them. The next step was creating the perfect whitewash effect. I mixed a bit of white paint with water, applied it gently, and watched as it initially appeared too stark. But within moments, it lightened beautifully, revealing a smooth, even finish with a soft, weathered wood grain. The process was simple yet rewarding, and the results spoke for themselves. Once the entire sign was painted, we carefully peeled off the letter templates to reveal the clean, crisp design underneath. A few minor touch-ups with a small brush dipped in nail polish remover smoothed out any rough edges. By evening, the sign was completely dry, and I drilled holes into the back using two conduit straps to attach three feet of sturdy rope for hanging. Currently, the sign is hanging above my sparsely decorated mantel, adding a touch of charm to the space. However, I’m considering moving it to my kids’ room, where it could serve as a playful and inspiring decoration. Time will tell! Cost Breakdown: - Two 2x4 planks: $7.50 - Three feet of rope: $3.00 - Two ½-inch conduit straps: $1.55 I already owned supplies like white craft paint, brushes, cardstock, scissors, glue sticks, and screws. **Total Cost: $12.05** If you’re working on any exciting DIY projects or have a favorite corner of your home you’d like to show off, join in by tagging your photos on Instagram or Twitter with #PROJECTdecor.
