A Head Board Becomes House-number Sign

Today is Furniture Feature Friday at Miss Mustard Seed and I’m linking to it!  It’s her first one so go see all the great furniture transformations. 

What a busy weekend!  Our house number gets a new sign post and I can finally say I have started my fall decorating. 

I recently was at one of my favorite places to shop, Habitat for Humanity, and got this twin head board for $10.  I was thinking that it would make a perfect sign post for our house number. 

 

With a little bit of sanding, exterior priming, painting and applying exterior water-based polyurethane we now have this pictured below:

With the help of my hubby, we attached those bracket thingies to the back of the post so that we could stake it in the ground by using metal posts.

With the help of my twin grandsons, I started my fall decorating.  We spent the day on Friday painting pumpkins and decorating the outside of my house.  I wished I had taken a picture of their pumpkins before they gave them to their mommy and daddy.  But let me tell you they were the best looking pumpkins anyone could ever purchase.    

Being a “Grandma” is so rewarding!
