Accent Wall/ DIY "Love is Spoken Here" sign

I finally finished this accent wall in our house and I think I'm finally happy with it. 

 My favorite part (besides seeing the adorable pictures of my kids) is the 

"Love is Spoken Here"

 sign I made, stained, and hand painted myself! What do ya think?! 

Unfortunately I don't have a step by step tutorial with pictures for you, but I will write out each step here. It really was pretty easy and didn't take much time at all.

Here ya go:

1. Find wood you want to use, I think I used pine, and bought two 8ft. 3x1in boards. 

2. Cut them to the length you want. I did them 2ft. long. 

3. I stained each board. I used 

rust-o-leum wood stain in golden mahogany.

4. I put all the boards together. 6 boards for the sign part and the remaining two went on the back to screw them all together.

5. I screwed them together one screw on each board on the top and then on the bottom.

6. I painted the words on. I like to hand paint things but it would also look really cute to use vinyl letters. 

7. I added a rope across the back so I could hang it up. This is pretty heavy so I needed a strong rope.

8. Hang it up!! And you're done! Easy peesy!!
