Family Name Sign

I made this sign today for our dining room
 
Started out with a stencil
 
 
Pressed it into the old, half rotten fence board, by hand

 
Then I painted the letters

 
It wasn't difficult but it wasn't easy either. The wood kept coming off on the cheap brush


 
It looked OK with just the outlines painted but I thought it might be nicer with whole letters painted

 
Lan saw it at this time; he smiled


 
Up close it looks pretty good 
 
After I got all the letters finished I added the hooks
and painted them HAMMERED by Rustoleum





 
These are the hooks I will use to hang from the ceiling

 
Finished sign, just waiting to hang

Bathroom Towel Bar

 
Today this really cute towel bar came from Stateline Tack.
Its a pretty antiquey silvery color right now and would look great in the bathroom. But I'm using the Rustoleum Hammered Brown color in there as an accent color so I'm going to paint the towel bar.
 
Here are the star and mirrors that I've already painted, with the silver turquoise walls.

 
I like this stuff.
