Architectural Inspiration

I don’t know about you but I LOVE inspiring words. I have all kinds of inspirational wordings throughout my home.  Sometime back,  I was at a blog called Room to Inspire and she had done a sign using molding that said  “Enjoy the Journey” .   I fell in love with it and thought one day I will try and make it myself.  So that day has come!    Off to Lowes I go to purchase 

  • rough cedar board,
  • chair rail, and
  • rounded corner molding

Before I get started on how I made my inspirational sign, my sweet sweet hubby bought me something

Yes it’s a CRICUT Expression and I have already put it to work.  I made my stencil “Enjoy The Journey”.

001 - Copy
I painted my cedar board, chair rail and round molding semi-gloss white.  Next, I stenciled “Enjoy The Journey”  on the cedar board.

After stenciling I lightly sanded and then put a mocha glaze on it.

I used my skil  saw that my Dad had given me one year for Christmas to cut my cedar board, chair rail and round corner molding.  (My Dad always bought me power tools.)

It’s hard cutting and taking a picture at the same time.

I used liquid nail to attach my chair rail and round molding to the cedar board.

and now the finished Architectural Inspirational Sign

All I need to do now is decide where to hang it.  I’m thinking maybe here about the double doors or

here above the front door or

in the kitchen above the wall shelving.

Where would you hang it? 

Have a wonderful day.
