After a long break made by winter and cold weather on our balcony, where we have a workshop, we come back with new simple things you may do by yourself.
I made one year ago wooden holiday signs for my mom. She travels a lot so I wanted to make something for her that will bring nice memories from escapes.
This time I will make something for myself, that will make positive feelings after coming home and look at our 4 walls☺
I think that live colors, positive words can change insides and make them more "happy".
Of course, I got two children so my home is very happy, but if you have a word "relax" on the wall you may subconsciously relax 馃槂

So let's go!
Things that you will need is only 4 boards and paints of colors that you like. If your boards are in poor condition like mine, you will need sandpaper and some chisel to remove a bark.

| Boards for wooden signs |
In the beginning, you need to prepare boards. Remove bark and treat by sandpaper to make smooth feeling. My boards are from palette so I had a lot of work to prepare them. But if you read our posts you know, that on Kalamondin Design we use a lot of palette boards. We try to reuse any kind of boards and do not throw out any part of the wood.

I usually like when the wood is visible, but this time I used paints that cover a wood structure. This time I need it. I used orange color ( I painted it three times, at first teak than red and at the end yellow):

As you may see teak color is a little bit visible because I used a sandpaper to remove color from some places. Also that I was painting by old and tough brush, that's why you may see a different structure of colors.
I like that effect so I think that this is not the last one thing I painted this way.
At the end, you just need to think about words that will make you positive, relax and bring nice feelings. I decided for "Water", "Sun", "Beach" and "Relax".
It brings me memories of holidays I've spent on sunny beaches, relaxing and have a good time.
Please remember, this is only my proposition 馃榿 If for you relaxing words will be "IT", "Work", or "Making $$$" - boldly, it is for you!
Finally effect below, I've done wholes for twine, but it may just stand on desk or commode.
Yes, I know that my paintings look like made by first school class children, but I like it 馃槈
