She got lots of nice gifts - she was excited to get nice stuff to replace all the old college housewares. :)

A friend had an old crib that no longer worked so she asked me if I wanted it. Of course, I said yes! I instantly knew what I'd do with the pieces.
But first, I needed to paint the arrow signs and entry sign onto old fence pickets. I sanded the wood just enough to get a smooth enough surface for lettering, then painted the arrow pickets white.
Next, I laid out a stencil and traced my words. Then I started painting.

All the rails got a good coat of chalk paint.
When everything was dry, I assembled the signs, attaching the pickets onto the rails. This will make placing the signs so much easier!
Ta-da! I really like the way they turned out. I still need an arrow on the "Happily Ever After Begins Here" sign but I will attach that when I put the sign in place. (I'm not sure exactly where I'll place it and the arrow needs to point the right way. 😀)
And the head and foot boards? They became an easel sign - painted ASCP old white along the edges and black chalkboard paint in the center.
Attached at top with wire and chain on the sides. Not sure yet if we will write the menu on it or some other message but love how it turned out!
We still have little projects to do but all the major ones are done. We are ready to party!
