Happy Friday!!!
I had so much fun yesterday; Erick took the boys for the day and let me work with mom and dad on the biz. We had a blast! But I’d love your opinion on a few things. We were chugging out some summery words, and I’d love to know what kind of painting technique that YOU would prefer.
Now, looking at the pictures above; we just put a coat or two of paint on the words, although I would go back and give it a bit more of a distressed look, I think. It’s a little vintage-y, right?
Below…these words have more of an opaque look.

And here…sweet tea doesn’t have a thing on it. I think we would offer the non-painted version if you wanted to tackle a little diy!
We’re still tinkering around with the product we’ll use; the above is masonite, but we might try it with some plywood as well.
So…would you go for unpainted? Distressed? Opaque? I have an arsenal of words I want to pop out…what words would you like? And phrases? Any ideas? We would LOVE to know what you think!!




Love Love Love them all..un painted, painted, distressed, not so much. They just look so fun! (I am not much help huh?)
Lookin’ good!
so adorable! i love them! i personally, would go with the unpainted so that I could paint it to whatever color i wanted. but your fun colors really make them pop, so i bet those will sell well too
My first fav is the unpainted then the distressed…they all look great!
Jen,
I too am with the majority and LOVE them ALL. They look great and won’t be in stock long. I think you should offer the all and see what sells best. Have used Annie Sloan Chalk paint?

I think the opaque looks very modern, love that. I also love the un-painted, freedom to customize
I know of many people that would go for the distressed look though. Gonna be hard for you to limit finishes hu?
Love the lettering! I really like the unpainted esp. with those words. And like the top picture (maybe distressed). The middle one just doesn’t stand out.
I love them all. Certain words look best with certain finishes. I love how the color choices for tea and coffee would match tea and coffee.
I agree with my mama
Jen they are looking great! I have a super cool suggestion. I don’t know if you will like it so don’t worry if you don’t. Lately I have fallin in love with the 50′s/60′s mint green! That lemonade sign when I first saw is made me think of the color. Maybe distressed? I just feel that green is going to make a come back! Hahaha….. Well I love everything y’all are doing.

I love them all! I think I would go for the unpainted since I could paint it in any colour that came to my mind. But they are all beautiful!
