Three DIY Decor Ideas: A Cottage Sign, Painted Floors, and a Skillet Memo Board

A handmade sign, a painted floor, and a repurposed skillet stood out in this decorating challenge. Each project belongs to the maker credited below, as do the accompanying photographs.

A Pottery Barn-inspired guest cottage sign

Art Is Beauty made this “Guest Cottage” sign as a version of a Pottery Barn design. The pale painted board and dark lettering give it a weathered look. Visit the original sign project for the maker's process.

A hand-painted checkerboard floor

Jessica of Mom 4 Real painted a blue-and-white checkerboard floor inspired by Country Living magazine. The photograph shows the pattern defining the entry beside the stairs and blue front door.

A cast-iron skillet memo board

Heather from At the Picket Fence turned a cast-iron skillet into a memo board. Her photograph shows a recipe card and small notes displayed against the pan, with a little copycat-challenge card attached. Visit the At the Picket Fence blog.
