This week we are saying goodbye to Laurie at Welcome to the Turner Farm. This lady has become a dear friend to me so I'm heartbroken to see her go :( But at least we can still find her over at her BLOG!!!

For now... here she is introducing us to tomorrow's theme: PAINT

After much needed rain that lasted for days, the sun is out. Spring feels like it has arrived.  Although, living in Maine,

I know all too well that we could still get a foot of snow 

any day from now until May. It is hard not to rush Spring.

All Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

I saw these signs at PB and knew I must have them.

They will look good with my collection of garden hats.

  

THREE CHALLENGES: 

#1. I would not spend the money to purchase them from PB. 

#2. I like authentic weathered signs. The ones aged by

the elements. I know I can sand them and get the aged look

now. I just really like the weathered tattered ones so much

more.  

#3. Our master bedroom has not been constructed yet. Maybe,

by fall.

THE SOLUTION:

Scrap Wood, White Wash, Black Paint and Patience.

First, I went on a scouting trip around the farm to

see what scraps I could find.  I'm not sure about anyone else, but sometimes, NO, a lot of time, I will start a project with

an idea in mind.  Then as I'm searching for the materials,

something will present itself and my project becomes something

all together different.  

This pallet and my fondness of authentic weathered signs,

changed the course of this project.

Did I tell you that I LOVE TO GARDEN. 

We spend many hours in the garden.  The building

where the garden tools are stored is a good 

distance from the gardens.  

Did I also tell you that I LOVE TO MULTI-TASK WHEN PROBLEM SOLVING.

My solution to authentic weathered signs for our

master bedroom (once completed), a garden tool organizer

close to the gardens, and not spending a penny while accomplishing the above?

 

Yes, it was done free hand.  I like signs 

that don't look manufactured.  The words were

placed so once fall arrives and the elements have 

had time to do its work, I can remove and cut the

boards to make individual signs.

The spacing between the front and back of

the pallet creates a perfect spot for rakes,

shovels, hoes, and so much more.

 

Now I have a place to keep me organized while I work

and I will be rewarded with the fruits of my labor at 

HARVEST TIME.

Garden bounty and wonderfully weathered signs.

I got so excited about the possibilities of what these

signs will look like by harvest time, I found 5 more pallets! 

I am working on a list of everything we plant in the garden.

I will be posting updated photos and a tutorial on

Welcome

To The Turner Farm.

Now, where'd I store those garden hats?
