My mom always says that families have to gather. That’s her term for meals, wiener roasts, reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
In my husband’s culture it is also called a gathering when people get together for ceremony or celebration.
So what better word to use for the sign I have been wanting above my sink?
Here it is.
I used a piece of barn board from our flooring, an overhead projector using the font “Hulbert”, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White (trim in Burnt Umber craft paint), and then AS Wax in Rustic after a good sanding.
I will show it to you next week above my sink as part of my kitchen reveal/ tour.

Looks fantastic! Love the barn wood…and your choice of a word!
Where do you get your AS paint?

I ordered it online and had it shipped. It was my Mother’s Day present last year! Expensive, but worth it.

This is so nice! I can’t wait to see it in place. The chalk paint gives it the perfect effect. Thanks for sharing at Etcetorize~

this turned out really great! I want to make a sign that says Patisserie for my Kitchen wall above the cabinets… and I have been trying to figure out how I want to paint it… this could be the trick. Thanks for the tips!
