Rustic Wall Plaque - In This House

I had to, I just had to.  Everyone seemed to have made some form of this in one medium or another.  Wall decals, poster, make-shift anything.  And with variations of the words.  So I couldn't resist making my version, too.

A quick step-by-step for those who may want to make one, too:

1.  With some recycled (I've run out of these - the day has come) and some store-bought wood slats, I sawed and screwed the plaque together first.

2.  Remember, I don't have any fancy-shmancy stencil machine.  Lettering is painfully done by hand, usually chalked on, to space it out, like in the wedding photo-booth (see here). For this project, I used masking tape to tape the letters on, which took me a lonnnnnng time. But I was so looking forward to removing the tape that I spent one night up til 4am tweaking the letters.

3.  Then a quick spray of paint over the taped lettering.

4.  And the fun part - removing all the tape.

Yabadabadooooooo!!!  I love it!
