French Linen "LOVE" Chalkboard Sign & V-Day Vignette

Hi everyone!
I hope it has been a good week for you so far!
We are on the mend here, thank goodness.
 
I am not sure if you have noticed but I
I like signs.
My favorite spot to hang them is over my barnboard mirror
in my family room.
With Valentine's Day quickly approaching I knew
I was needing a "LOVE" sign.
I thought, why not a chalkboard,
that way I could easily change it:).
I decided to go with Anne Sloan's Chalkpaint
in French Linen as the background
&
I followed this easy tutorial for the letters.
 
What do you think??? 
It was soooo easy!
I am in LOVE!
 
 You can check out the before and afters
of this high five makeover here.
Here is a picture to refresh your memory,
I paid $10 :), amazing right?
 
 
 
 
 I used chalk to create the letters.


 In case you are wondering, the sectional is from here
&
I love that too:).

  4. This room is amazing! I love it, so comforting and cozy but also crisp! I was wondering about your sofa, your WHITE sofa with boys, how has it been? I have the ektorp couch and two chairs and have been wanting to go white but I have to admit I am scared I have 3 boys!

  34. I love it! Stunning! Your style is by far one of my favorites :) I was wondering what material you used to line the back of the cabinet? Is that fabric, wallpaper....? I am looking for a similar print for my bathroom and am having trouble finding something exactly what I want and then saw this. Also, what is the darker color...it's hard to tell in the picture.

    Thanks,
    xx ~Jennifer
