Nikki's Niche-Writing on the {Bathroom} Wall!

In an attempt to organize my bathroom, I color coded my children's things. Pink, Blue, Purple, and Green now mean something more than colors...they constitute ownership in my house. We had some vinyl for sale in the store a little while back and I kept one. It was black vinyl, though. I'm kinda on a boycott from black right now...so here's my solution:

I started with some left over planks from a barn-dooresque project I'll showcase in the future. You use any type of plank, really. These were already screwed to a smaller, unifying board on one side.

I taped off the neighboring plank and started painting

 (after I measured the size of the vinyl on the boards for a stopping point).

I did the outsides first and worked my way in...

Then I sanded it to make it look a little "old".

Then hubby helped me drill screws in {it actually is nice being able to JUST take pictures...not trying to drill AND take pictures}in an un-uniform way. ;)

Then I was banned from power tools and hubby cut the planks with a jigsaw.

I instructed him to cut them uneven. ;)  I like things "imperfect".

Then we..I mean HE sanded the bottom of the sign. 

I {yes, me} then applied the vinyl to the sign. 

Then I spray painted the whole sign. I didn't completely, totally cover it with white because I wanted it to look a little worn.

After it dried a little, but not completely, I peeled the vinyl off of the sign. 

This is what it looked like..I sanded it a little bit more and was finished!

I'll show it "in it's place" soon!
