~Merry Christmas sign~{DIY}

A few of you have asked for a tutorial on my Merry Christmas sign I made for

 the Home Depot style challenge.

I had an old sign that I painted over with cream paint.

Here is the before.

I have a sort of obsession for typography, so whenever I am at thrift stores and see letters or numbers, I snag them up.

Even if they aren't the right finish, it's perfect for this sort of project.

After the paint was dry I just started gluing on the letters to spell out Merry Christmas.

A couple of the letters I didn't have, so I used some blocks of wood to paint the letter on.

And that's it.

Let it dry and hang.

 I love the look of the different lettering.

~tis the season~{my 1st Home Depot style challenge}

To say I am a little excited about this Home Depot holiday style challenge would be an understatement.

I was so happy when I was selected to participate.

Late August my mystery boxes started arriving with products to use in my outdoor space.

I'm not gonna lie, I was really nervous when I opened them up and saw a ton of red items.

I know red is a staple this time of year, but I did not know how I was going to incorporate it into my neutral decor.

After stressing out for a couple weeks, I decided I would embrace the red and really play up on it in a whimsical kind of way.

I ended up turning my studio into "Santa's workshop" not only decorating the outside, but the inside as well.

Below are a few sneak peeks, but you'll have to head on over here to see the rest!

I hope I have inspired you to get into the holiday decorating spirit as well!
