Hey there friend! I've been busy busy busy transforming my home with inexpensive, easy projects for Valentine's day!!! In fact, I'm working on so many things I don't know if I'll have time to share them all! This week I'm sharing three different DIY Valentine's projects 💗💗💗 This easy DIY sign needs very few supplies and is a great way to give an existing sign a fresh look.

I didn't change anything about the front of this sign, or the sides for that matter. I love it! My daughter gave it to me for Christmas a couple years ago and it fits perfectly on the painted cabinet in my kitchen that I use for mug storage. 

But for Valentine's day, it felt a little dark. I've been adding light pink touches, lots of white, and really wanted a sign that fit that look...without buying another sign! So I redid the back! It was easy, quick, and adds a whole new feel! I love this so much I may need to do it to the backs of all my other signs!

Here's how I did it, and I promise it's so easy!

Here's the sign again, as it was. You can see how the letters are carved from the sign, I LOVE that about it!

And here's the back. It had a really dark, almost black, stain.

The first thing I did was to remove a couple staples. Next, I wiped it down with some degreasing cleaner. I used painter's tape on the sides to protect them from paint.

Then I painted the back of the sign only with two coats of white chalk paint, let it dry and lightly sanded around the edges.

Next I painted it with a light coat of pale pink chalk paint that I had leftover from my painted mason jar and mini rolling pins. It's so pale, it looks white on screen, but it's a nice pretty blush.

I didn't take pics of this next step, but it's easy if you already own a Silhouette or Cricut. I measured my sign and created an XOXO pattern to fit, using The Skinny font which resembles the tall skinny Rae Dunn letters. I cut it out of black vinyl and adhered it to my sign. If you don't own a die cut machine, you can still get a similar look using stickers!

Super cute right?!

I don't usually decorate much for Valentine's Day, but this year I decided to just GO FOR IT! I was inspired to make a bunch of Rae Dunn dupes, and I'll be sharing everything you see here in the next few days. Be sure to check my YouTube channel, I have several video tutorials up there as well!

Who says Valentines Day decor has to be red and pink? I'm embracing blush, black and white and I love it!

Remember, it's your home...do what YOU love and what fits in YOUR budget! It's so easy to feel like you have to decorate a certain way. I'm telling you to break the rules girl!!

I'll see you back here on Wednesday with another Valentine's day DIY craft!
