L is for the way you look at me..

O : is for the only one I see!!
V: very very extra ordinary
and
E:even more than anyone that you adore
Oh
LOVE is
Made for you and MEEEEEE!

Okay, I'm not sure how it goes but you're picking up what I'm throwin down.

I've been looking forward to this project for the longest time
I just couldn't bare the fact of starting a new project when
my "devil shelf" wasn't finished..
Which by the way
STILL
is on the ground
I want to stomp on it every time i walk by it.

The  Following Project is Simple
needed?
3 :1x2 Furing Strips
2 1x4 Furing Strips
Screws
and
Stain

This project was inspired by :
Followed Blogs
Pintrest
and and

Those two suckers!

I've never really been a Home Depot kinda girl
But I had 2, TWO gift cards there..
Why the heck not, right?

Well for starters
When I got there I swear every Worker that saw that I needed help and when i went to ask they would turn there backs and literally B line it in the opposite direction
....
But at least I got the needed materials
Now
I want you to close your eyes and imagine this for just a moment

Girl in Heals
Carrying
5: 8 ft Furing strips down the isles of Home Depot

Trying with all her might to keep it in control..

Okay open your eyes and feel free to laugh
Because that girl was me!

After my awkwardness, I finally tracked down the man in charge of the
 "cutting department"
and Cut those babies right in half!

9: 4ft furing strips.. Check


Lay your furing strips in your desired order
Prep for your
"Anchors"


You CAN use gorilla glue just for extra caution...
Of course I didn't, But its an option
Although I did run into some bad luck on the drilling

Lesson Learned

PRE DRILL your anchor holes!!

We live and we learn and of course
Move on!

Next up... Make er prettttyyyy!
I used my new favorite stain
"Special Walnut"
You of course can use any you desire

Then you wait
and wait

Or spend time with these two cuties!

I love walking in to a house of my two favorites screaming
"AUNT JESS!"
.....................

I also love walking into a DRY project !

..Now for the fun part..

Print out the following letters in your desired font in
size
600
yes..
600

L
O
V
E
Cut them out into cute "white trash" stencils!

You can use whatever kind of paint you want, i just had the green
"Wheat Grass"
left over from our downstairs bathroom

Paint-Paint-Paint

and an
O.V.E
later....

Ladies and Gents

......

..Presenting...
Yeah, My "E" is retarded (don't go back up and look)
I sanded it down to make it look slightly normal
