Eggs and Asparagus

Hey my friends!

Do you have a weakness for signs?  Me too ;)  All over blog land and even name brand catalogs…signs are everywhere.

I saw a photo on a blog from Pottery Barn catalog, and showed Mr. Buckets. 

And, being the sweet carpenter guy that he is…now I have some nice, big wooden letters over the stove.

Here is my inspiration photo from Pottery Barn:

Just look at that farmhouse. kitchen. OH. MY!

Our little kitchen does not have quite the space to put GROCERIES, so we opted for a much shorter word :)

And did you notice the ASPARAGUS sign in the above Pottery Barn photo?  Well, I painted my version of that one, also:

This one was just stenciled onto an old piece of barn wood.  Our family loves asparagus in the summer months. My kids eat it like candy.

I did not, however, paint the stenciled number jars.  They came from a store called Tuesday Morning- great things at great prices :)

Well, I’m sharing my signs this week at these fun parties:

White Wednesday

and

Farmhouse Friday

and

Feathered Nest Friday

And one more little tidbit of news:  our “farmhouse project” was featured today on Design Shuffle Blog.  It’s a neat blog, where you can get designing ideas, or share your own.  Go take a look at the sweet post they did…I’m most honored to be featured.  Thanks to the folks at Design Shuffle for giving us a shout-out!!

  1. I just LOVE those signs! I'm going to have to show DH and see if I can get him to make me something similar. Really charming!

    Your whole kitchen is fantastic! Your open shelving looks so good! I really struggle with styling the shelves so they look good but also are functional for our family (like so many people, we are SO busy). Yours look great!

  14. edited to remove my crazy spelling error. ;-)

    All so cute Becky. I always love to look at all the details in your interior photos. That asparagus sign you made is a great idea & I heart your "1,2,3" canisters... I know I saw them somewhere! Oh man do I want a white farmhouse sink so bad.. my sink area is not big enough to fit a full apron one, so one of these days I'll have to put in a drop-in non-apron one. Take care!

  15. Love it and those cute little numbered jars you got at Tuesday Morning were originally from Pottery Barn. I paid probably too much for them while you got them for a steal ;)

  25. Both kitchens are so country...I like the white and wood tones together...I need a splash of wood mixed with my white things/dishes in the Cabin kitchen...I also like making signs either from twigs or stenciling...I tried the word "Adventure" and then put twigs around it and hung it up in our cabin den...I posted it over at Mel's Designs from the Cabin..near the bottom of the blog....Mel

  36. Ordering a kitchen stuff is hard duty, I am doing it only once a month. For me arranging is wasting of time. You are genius to do it and give a new look.
