My Mother In-law was amazing to have me in mind and something I really wanted as decoration for our new apartment.
I was telling her about this and how easy it would be to make.
While my MIL was at her parents house she nailed pieces from a wood palate together and brought it home. She told me she had a surprise for me and I of course went over there as soon I possibly could!
She helped me white wash the wood and create the paper stencils for the letters/number.
This picture really doesn't do it justice!
It really is a beautiful work of art. Our 4th anniversary is actually coming up in a little over a week and I thought it would be fun to finish this wall with some of our wedding photos. I've been editing them in photoshop the last couple of day (since we didn't exactly hire a professional photographer for our big day), just a quick color balance, sharpening and re sizing so they'll look nice when printed in a 4x6 size. I also have plans for this week to find some old wood frames at the thrift store and refinish them. I'm so excited! I've NEVER decorated a place we've lived in yet so this is our first decorator piece!

This turned out fabulously, Rachel! (ps. your link to Pinterest doesn't work.)
Like it, nice idea!
What a sweet mother in law you have. It looks fabulous.
Like the idea of the wedding photos with it too.
Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments! I couldn't find it on my pinterest boards so I searched google for it and posted the link that way, but it should work now.
So cute!! I love how this turned out! I am featuring this on my blog tomorrow!
