I used a board from a free pallet to make a garden sign marking the year we moved into our South Carolina home. Annie Sloan chalk paint in Provence and letter-and-number stencils supplied the finish.
Getting a board off the pallet was the hard part
The pallets came from Lowe’s at the time. Mike used a crowbar to take one apart, but the boards split, so we did not get as many usable pieces as I had hoped.
Paint, letters, and the year
I painted the board Provence, then used stencils bought at Walmart for the lettering and date. Est. 2006 referred to the year we moved to this house.
The sign in the garden
I attached the finished sign to a tree. I wanted to make more signs with other sayings if we could remove more boards without splitting them.
The painted pallet tabletop display is another small wood project. My numbered flowerpots give the address a different outdoor display.
