diy "lunch" sign

Happy Monday! 

     So, this weekend was super busy for us. I got some product stocked up for the store (one item is the DIY I'm sharing with you guys tonight) AND we finally finished hanging the galvanized tin in our kitchen! I'll be sharing the complete look on Thursday. My son is turning THREE YEARS OLD on Friday. The time has flown by and I can't believe how big he is already. Most of this week I'll be prepping for his party, but I'll try to squeeze in a few projects.         

   

  Anyways...

  Let's talk World Market signage. I'm obsessed with their "lunch now being served" & "fresh pies baked daily " signs. Unfortunately, I never seem to make it and they're always sold out. My dad is in the middle of renovating a rental and graciously donated all of the old windows to me, which happen to be PERFECT for these look-a-like signs.

    

    

     The windows are 23 x 22 in. single pane and already had white wood frame, but I did spruce it up with some white chalk paint. If you can't get your hands on any windows, you can always substitute a large picture frame! I used my silhouette cameo to print out the letters, but again you can substitute with painting the letters on. Pinterest has some great transfer methods! Here is how my diy version of the World Market "lunch" sign turned out.

     We'll see you back Thursday for a kitchen tour with tips on using tin for your interior! Don't forget to be following along on IG! @thecornerfarmhouse / #thecornerfarmhouse

diy mason jar sign

Back again! So far, so good, right? Today was a little less productive than I anticipated. I did choose a gray paint color for the dining room, Useful Gray by HGTV. I think it goes well with our pallet accent wall, don't worry I will be posting a complete picture at some point. I also found time in between vacuuming up Cheeto crumbs and cooking chicken nuggets (healthy, I know) to do a small DIY project. We will call this project "TRUE LIFE: I have a minor addition to Ball mason jars"... okay it's a large problem and my house is busting at the seams. In my defense, my family officially supports this problem and they were the culprits in this situation. My brother dropped  off a big heapin' box of antique medicine bottles, soda bottles and you guessed it... mason jars! When I have had more junk in my bath tub than people, I can say it was a successful weekend. For this project, I used some scrap wood we had laying around, black acrylic paint, white Martha Stewart chalk paint and my personal design from my Silhouette Cameo. I may go back and add a few more details, but this is the result as of now! I love it. Excuse the fact that I am lacking in the picture taking department.
